“Do you have a place to sleep?” Donny asked. The girls shook their heads.
“You can stay here!” Mikey said.
“Thanks” Sunset said.
that night
Pinkie ended up sleeping in Mikey's room, Twilight and Sunset in Donny’s room, Fluttershy in Leo's room, Dash and Starlight in Raph's room and Applejack, Rarity, Casey and April on the couch in the living room.
Raph yawned and woke up. Starlight was sleeping in his chair and Dash insisted to sleep on the ground. He looked at dash. She started stirring.
in Dash’s dream
“It's your fault you mom died!” her dad yelled.
“W- why would you say that?...”
“If you didn't get born she would have still been here! YOU MONSTER!” he yelled and walked away, leaving his kid behind, crying her eyes out. (don't worry, she still has eyes)
“She is a monster!” Karaii yelled.
“Karaii! Stop it! You're the monster here!” Donny yelled.
“Look at her! How is that NOT a monster!?” Karaii yelled.
“I- I'm a monster...” Dash said.
”Dash?”
with raph
“I- I'm a monster...” Dash said. A tear fell down her cheek. He looked at her with wide eyes.
“Dash?” he whispered. He moved his arm towards her and started to shake her.
“Dash?” he said just above a whisper. She fluttered her eyes open. “What's wrong?”
“I....” she whispered. “I'm a monster”
“Why would you say that?”
“M- my mom died because of m- me”
“Why? What happened?”
“She died after giving birth to me...”
“That's not your fault"
“My dad always blamed me for it... That's why he left me...”
“I'm so sorry...”
“You don't have to be, I'm going back to sleep k? Gnight”
“Night”
morning
“Raph! Wake up!” Mikey yelled. Raph, Dash and Starlight groaned.
“What is it?” Raph asked.
“We have pizza!”
“Ugh... Coming!”
“So you really like pizza?” Dash asked.
“Uh... Yeah?”
“I'll pass” she let herself fall down again.
“Come on, you need to eat something” Starlight said. Dash groaned and stood up. Starlight giggled at her. Her hair was messy and she looked really tired.
“What?” Dash asked.
“Nothing” Starlight said. Dash shrugged her shoulders and walked into the living room. Raph and Starlight followed her.
“Rainbow! Darling! You can't just walk around like that! You look dreadful!” Rarity yelled and grabbed her brush from her purse. She ran up to Dash and pushed her into Raph's room. The turtles, April, Casey and Splinter looked confused.
“That's just Rarity” Twilight said.
“Ow!” they heard Dash yell.
“Darling, how long have you NOT brushed your hair? It's full of knots” rarity said.
“I don't know... Few weeks?”
“Did you shower?”
“Yeah of coarse”
“Oh thank goodness”
few minutes later
“Darling, you should change now, your pajamas aren't exactly fashionable”
“Fine...” Dash mumbled. The fashionista walked out of the room to leave her friend to get changed. Dash looked at her back pack. She grabbed it and opened it. She took out a picture of her and her dad. She threw it on the ground and it shattered. Immediately the door opened and her friends walked in.
“Dash? What happened?” Starlight asked. Dash just stormed out of the room. She ran outside. She grew her pony features and flew up to a roof and sat down. She started to lightly cry and turned back to normal.
with the others
“What just happened?” Pinkie asked. Sunset walked up to the broken picture frame and grabbed the picture.
“Why would she throw a picture of her and her dad on the ground? She loved that man” Sunset asked.
“Hey, where's Raphael?” Twilight asked.
with Raphael
Come on, where are you? He looked around until he saw her sitting on an edge of a building, kicking her feet and softly crying. Raph climbed up the building and took a seat next to her. She wiped her tears away.
“Are you okay?” Raph asked.
“I'm fine”
“No you're not, come on, tell me what's wrong”
“Nothing”
“Dash, come on, I'm your friend”
“I just... I just can't see my dad's face anymore...”
“I understand”
“I'm pretty sure you don't”
“Well... You told me what happened, so I kinda get it”
“I guess so...”
“Y’know what? Let's go back and explain everything to your friends, and you'll sleep in my bed”
“Sure, but I'm fine with the ground” she jumped off of the building. She spread her wings and slowly flew to the ground. Raph watched her and smiled.
with the others
“WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW?!” Pinkie freaked out.
“PINKIE! Calm down” Sunset said.
“But what is that Katar girl has them?!”
“It's Karaii” Donny said.
“I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT HER NAME IS!”
“What's going on here?” Dash asked.
“DASHIE! YOU'RE NOT KIDNAPPED BY KATAR!” Pinkie yelled and hugged her friend.
“Who is Katar?”
“She means Karaii” Starlight said. “Anyways, Dash, what happened in there?”
“Um...” Dash looked at Raph. He nodded. “Guess I have to tell you guys a story...” she walked over to the couch, pinkie still hanging on her.
“I wanna join!” Mikey yelled and ran up to them. He jumped on top of Dash, causing all of them to fall down.
“Ow” Dash groaned. Pinkie and Mikey both looked at her. After a few seconds they burst out laughing.
“What's so funny?” someone asked. They stopped laughing and stood up.
“Why are you here? Again?” Dash asked.
“I came here to apologize” Karaii said.
“Pfft, sure, like I'll believe you” Dash crossed her arms.
“Rainbow Dash! Give her a chance!” Twi said.
“I can't... She reminds me too much of my dad...”
“I thought you loved him very much! You seemed devastated when he died!” Sunset said.
“Um... He didn't... I mean, I don't know if he did...”
“WHAT?!” Sunset and Twilight yelled at the same time.
“He kinda, sorta left me when I was six...”
“Why?” Starlight asked.
“He said it was my fault my mom died, because she died after giving birth to me...” tears welled up in her eyes. Fluttershy, Pinkie and Starlight hugged her. Dash smiled.
“Awww Dashie...” Pinkie said.
“Why do I remind you of such an awful person? Karaii asked.
“BECAUSE YOU CALLED ME A FRIGGIN MONSTER! JUST LIKE MY DAD DID BEFORE HE LEFT ME TO DIE ALONE!” Dash yelled. Everyone looked at her in shock.
“Then... How are you here now?” Twi asked.
“Because... I ran away from our old house till I reached a city... Canterlot... Someone found me and called the police. They eventually brought me to a place where you can adopt kids. I got adopted by Fleetfoot’s parents. They had adopted Scootaloo about two weeks before they adopted me...”
“So... These “Fleetfoot and Scootaloo” are your “sisters”?” Donny asked. Dash nodded.
“Who found you?” Starlight asked.
“Soarin and his dad... That's why he became one of my best friends”
“Wait! Didn't Soarin move to New York?!” Pinkie asked.
“Yeah he di- OH MY GOSH! I HAVE TO FIND HIM!” Dash yelled and gave Pinkie the biggest hug ever.
“Do you forgive me?” Karaii crossed her arms. Dash broke her hug with her bubbly friend.
“I'll give you a chance, but remember, I'm watching you” Dash said.
“Well, why don't we go out there and search for your friend?” April asked. Dash put on one of the biggest smiles ever.
“What are you waiting for? An invitation?” Leo asked.
“Ooh! I should have some in my bag, wait a second!” Pinkie was about to run away, but was stopped by Sunset.
“Not literally” Sunset let go of her.
“Oh”
“Well, let's go!” Starlight said and pulled Dash outside with her. The others ran after them.
“Hey! Wait up!” April laughed.
“So... What does your friend look like?” Raph asked when they reached Dash and Starlight.
“He has navy blue hair and green eyes” Dash said.
“That shouldn't be too hard to do” Mikey said.
“Um... We don't exactly know if he lives in this part of New York” Donny said.
“There's only one way tha find out!” Applejack yelled and ran away.
“AJ! Wait for us!” Dash laughed. Then she dashed over to Applejack.
“DASH! APPLEJACK! SLOW DOWN!” Twilight yelled.
