In the midst of the changeling attack on Canterlot Castle, the unthinkable happens. Rainbow Dash kisses Fluttershy! Now let's just sit back, relax and see what happens.

Rainbow Dash has a few last words for her friends

Rainbow Dash never did the sonic rainboom and everything is vastly different for the mane 6.

The world we know never happened and all of the mares have gone on to live their own lives, will they reunite when Nightmare Moon returns, or will they have their own lives to worry about?

This is a darker twist on the realm as war and Nightmare Moon go hoof in hoof.

Dark tag for a couple scenes, not the story overall.

Rainbow Dash needs to hear the roar.

In Equestria, legend tells of a pony, all the colors of the rainbow, who will grant the wish of a pony whose heart is true. Tread lightly, though, for it is not a wish to be made without careful consideration.

The Rainbow Pony will grant a wish only if the wisher completes a unique task. Suffice it to say, these tasks are not what you’d expect.

If the Rainbow Pony gives you something wrapped in noctis wings, you will automatically know your task—words need not be spoken.

Some say that the pony’s colors on the outside compensate for the darkness on the inside, so think carefully before you attempt your task…

You know, sometimes...I find myself not the greatest friend. But for some reason, they still don't mind me. They still consider me a good friend and I never understand why? The best I can do, is be a burden, but then again...if they ever need me...if they ever fall off a cliff...or somewhere far down, I'll be there in a second to catch them.

I'll shoulder their pain. I'll carry their burden. I'll catch them because it is not just me...

Because I'm their friend.

The story is something I worked on. It was short and done in ten minutes. I feel like any person can connect with this story if they too felt like they were not a great friend to those that still loves them, but will give their very life to see them safe. Thank you for taking the time to reading this and have a safe day, dearies.

(Note: I put the dark tag to emphasize on the dark aspect through Rainbow's Perspective, before the light aspect takes over. A style I am practicing with on my experiment through first person.)

There are many academy records in the Wonderbolt Academy, and Spitfire loves getting cadets to train hard and shatter those records.

There is one record she never wanted to see broken: the Academy Death Record. In the ten years since she became a captain and began training cadets, the Wonderbolt Academy has never seen a single pony die in action. That record was broken today when a malfunctioning piece of training equipment took the life of one of the newest recruits... and a personal friend of Spitfire's.

Time it took to complete the story: 34 minutes (from 12:58 pm to 13:32 pm, Greenwich Mean Time, Gmt)

Idea from: here (click it)

Story Description:The biggest loss of her life hit her the hardest, as Rainbow Dash loses her father, she comes to realise that nothing in her life is certain anymore.

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.

*6-16-2017 Edit, added Rainbow Dash tag because it triggered knighty.*

Confused, Spike wakes up to find himself in a predicament that he wouldn't be in by choice.

He doesn't mind all that much though.

Absolutely zero editing nor proof-reading was put into this. Consider that.
