Rainbow's world came crashing down when she gave Twilight the first draft of her manuscript. It was terrible, and Twilight pointed it out. But Twilight didn't know the whole story. She didn't know what the story meant to Rainbow...

T for Suicide References.

Rainbow Dash's father is dying in hospital. All Twilight can do is watch and offer some comforting words.

Words are powerful things. They can hurt, and they can heal; you just have to know the right ones. But when somepony loses their father, what are the right ones?

Equestria is broken. Its leadership, crippled. Many have paid the ultimate price to fight the endless changeling swarms. Now ponies hold a desperate last stand against the onslaught.

Twilight Sparkle has a solution.

All it would take is one last sacrifice.

This story is a sequel to You're Wanted: I'll Always Protect You

When a group of stallions claim to be protesting unfair discrimination under Celestia's laws in cases of abuse, Twilight, ever loyal to her mentor, sets out to fight them. Twilight believes they're just trouble makers trying to break up families and cause national strife.
Rainbow however, believes their message and sees them as real victims wanting to be heard. She decides to defend them and help them get out their message.
The two mares butt heads, Twilight unsure and Rainbow determined. While they fight, Rainbow learns that more is at stake than a civil rights argument. Some of the stallions are peaceful and just want Celestia to hear them. Others, many trained and powerful soldiers, see Celestia's laws as betrayal, and want revenge.

A terrifying creature has arrived in Ponyville and is attacking a young pegasus filly named Lightning Strike. Rainbow Dash and her friends try to save her, but when they do, Scootaloo is put in serious danger as the creature starts to use her as a pawn.

Not long ago Rainbow adopted Scootaloo as her own daughter. The creature offers Rainbow Dash a deal. Leave with Scootaloo and be safe, or fight and risk her daughter being killed. Rainbow knows she can't abandon a filly, even one she doesn't know very well, but with her daughter being targeted, she may be compelled to do some things she'll eventually regret.

Special thanks to DragonShadow, who pre-read and helped me revise this story. Thanks also to JofY, who gave suggestions for the second revision.

The comments are full of unmarked spoilers, so watch out.
Obviously, this contains massive spoilers for the season 2 episode "The Mysterious Mare Do Well," and one must have seen it before this story will make much sense.
Rated Teen for violence and some blood.

This story is a sequel to The Truth Behind My Little Pony
