//------------------------------// // Chillaxing // Story: My Big Sister Lightning Dust // by BronySis //------------------------------// Its a late night in Ponyville and Rainbow Dash decided to invite Lightning Dust over to chillax. Lightning Just told Scootaloo to go to bed, and Lightning went up the stairs to fly out the window only to realize the pain on her bruised wing so with caution, she glided with little movement in her wing. Lightning Dust hated the feeling, the fact she can barely do the things she loves, and be so venerable while doing so. Finally Lightning gets to Rainbow Dash large, cloud mansion. Lightning looked over to the rainbow river and waterfall. Nice place really is like Rainbow, egotistical, show-off, and even a little pret.. No. Lightning thought as she approached the door to Rainbow's house. She gave a good knock at the blue painted door, the effect is to make the door look like cloud. After a couple seconds went bye when she hears a voice with a southern dialect, then the familiar voice of Rainbow Dash can be heard. Finally the door opened and Rainbow Dash spoke. "What happened to you, looks like you got hit by a cart." Rainbow grew a look of concerned for one of her new employees health. Behind Rainbow Dash is a orange earth pony with a cowboy hat, and freckles. It is obvious the earth pony didn't see the black eye. "Well come on in," Rainbow opened the door wider and motioned for the pegasus to come into the house. She did, and looked over to the orange pony. A sour feeling kicked her gut when she recognized the mare. It was a pony she almost killed at the academy. "Howdy, names Applejack." Applejack put up her hoof out, Lightning clearly uncomfortable. Put out her hoof out to meet the cowpony's hoof. Applejack grabbed it, and was about to shake it full of energy, but she stopped when she saw a large bruise on the turquoise pegasus. She gave a small shake, and only once. A bit of awkward silence goes bye until Applejack speaks. "Are we going to the living room or what?" Rainbow Dash nodded. The three mare's started trotting towards the living room, where a TV and a hoofball game awaited them. Its the Hoofington Trotters vs Cloudsdale fliers. That's seems to be the only thing the three mare's have in common, a love to prove each other wrong or themselves right by doing a physically demanding activity. The living room looked surprisingly upper crust material for a weather manager, looks like something you might find in Canterlot except it's filled with trophy's of all of Rainbow Dash accomplishments, and Wonderbolt memorabilia. "The games about to start, I'm going to go and grab some grub." And with that Applejack walked towards the kitchen. Rainbow Dash and Lightning sat on the cloud bean bags and sat in very awkward silence. neither of them having anything to say. "Hey Rainbow Dash if anything happens to me. You must take care of Scootaloo." Rainbow Turned and looked at Lightning with both shock and surprise. "Uhhh.. Sure, of course." A long pause went by again. But the TV blasted with a loud speaker pony speaking faster than lightning. "And now we have a special guest with us today, please welcome, Spitfire." The two pegasus mare's ears perked and looked over to the TV. "So miss Spitfire tell me what does it take to be a successful Wonderbolt?" A rough voice that belonged to Spitfire spoke. "Well you got to have a lot of guts, and a lot of moves really. And if you want to be the best then do your best." "What did I do wrong?" Lightning said to Rainbow Dash in a broken voice. Rainbow continued to look towards the TV for a bit before answering. "You need to consider others in your ambitions." Lighting gave Rainbow a look of please explain so she did. "You need to consider others feelings and more importantly, safety." "But if you do that your just going to either get hurt by them, or slowed down by them." Lightning countered. "Does that include Scootaloo?" Rainbow wondered. "Of course not, she's the reason I wanted to be a Wonderbolt." "That makes no sense Lighting." "I wanted to be a Wonderbolt so I could protect her." Lighting was getting very into the argument she then said with a sneer. "I would probably do better than what we have right now, the only Wonderbolt who doesn't seem to be a idiot is Sorin. And his position is not to high up." "Take that back!" Rainbow yelled. The two mare's glared at each other in anger. They turned away from each other, trying to calm themselves. "Look you have changed so much since the academy, and we both have very different priority's in life. You have really grown, but I will warn you now." Rainbow glared towards Lighting who glared back. "Don't take a step backwards." The two pegasus mare's walked and sat back down in their comfy clouds. But Lighting thought about that for awhile. Eventually Applejack came back with a apple pie, and some apple fritters, Lighting's favorite. When she came in, the cow pony said. "Happy Birthday." Lighting looked in confusion, how did she know her birthday. "Oh, you know that pink pony down town." Lighting nodded. "She told me." a small pause went by before she spoke up again. "By the way Pinkie has a party ready for you tomorrow." "OK, I got something to do before that so do me a favor and stall for a bit." Lighting chuckled out the words. The rest of night was yelling at the TV cheering and booing at the teams stupid decisions. The next day Lighting Dust and Scootaloo walked down town looking for the mane salon. Finally the two arrived at Ponyville's local salon Lighting held the door and Scootaloo walked in. "Ello, Lighting what will it be today?" A pink mare with a blue mane asked in a thick accent. "Can I have a number 12 today?" The mare behind the counter raised a eyebrow. But shook her head and said. "Follow me." "Oh yeah, give Scootaloo what ever she wants." Lightning winked to Scootaloo, as she grew a large frown. "But massages are girly stuff." Lighting shrugged and went back. Scootaloo sat there for awhile until the new pony behind the counter asked Scootaloo. "What can I do for you darling?" Scootaloo sat there for a bit with a frown on her face, then said. "Can I get a massage, and a dip in the hot tube?" "Of course darling follow me." The two mare's enjoyed their respective time getting pampered. About a hour later Scootaloo walks out of her room. Where a mare stood her mane and tail looked different, in a good way. Scootaloo stood there in shock, gazing at her sister. Lighting noticed her and turned around to look at her sister. "You like it?" Lightning dust asked with a bit of pride in her voice. Scootaloo broke from her trance and yelled in excitement. "Is super awsomeness, its perfect!" With that, the two sister's walked towards Sugar Cube corner for Lighting Dust "surprise" birthday.
