The events take place during season 4
In The Human World....
Drake was crying. He was crying his little eyes out, hoping that the pain he was going through would end soon, but to his dismay, it wasn't coming to any sort of end soon.
"Yeah, you like that?!" The voice of his father shouted, as Drake whimpered in the corner, hopeless to do anything against his father. He was only five, and yet, he wasn't enjoying the joy of having a good childhood. Instead, he was always beaten and forgotten, like that gum wrapper you throw in the trash, and never think about again.
"Daddy.... Please stop......" Drake whimpered, but his only award was another hit from his belt.
"Shut up! You're the reason that your mother died! You killed her, because you decided to exist in the first place, that is how much of a screw up you are!" His father shouted, slamming the belt down once again, hitting Drake with a lot of force, causing him to fall back, and cough out a little blood.
"I'm..... Sorry....." Drake said, weakly. His father growled, as he walked into the kitchen, to get Drakes next punishment. As he was in the kitchen, Drake got up, without a lot of energy in his body, he weakly went to the front door.
"Where the hell do you think your going off too?" His father asked. Drake turned around, and saw a empty beer bottle in his fathers hand. Before he could do anything, he felt the bottle make contact with his face, causing him to fall back. He tried to get up once again, but he felt himself being forcefully pulled up.
"Go to your room, you little shit, and don't even think about coming out, or you'll be sorry....." His father let him go, and Drake made his way to his room, slowly, and weakly. When he got into his room, he sat on his mattress. He looked out his broken window, and made one single wish.
"Please..... Please let me be with a mommy again...." He said, looking down at his hands, letting a single tear fall from his eyes. "Please...."
Back In Equestria.....
Rainbow Dash was speeding through the air, like she did on most days. She enjoyed the wind going through her mane, she enjoyed the adrenaline from going so fast, she enjoyed just about every aspect there was for flying.
"This is great." Rainbow Dash said. "I don't have any more weather patrol, I can do whatever I want to-" She was cut off, by the familiar voice of Twilight.
"Rainbow Dash!" She shouted, causing Rainbow to put on her brakes, nearly causing her to crash in a cloud. She looked down at Twilight, with an annoyed look.
"What Twilight? This better be important!" Rainbow said, flying down to where Twilight was.
"It is, Rainbow. Do you remember that time I had to travel through a mirror, to go get my crown from the human world?" Twilight asked. Rainbow did remember that, she even remembered when Twilight said, "Hands" and she had no idea what it meant.
"Um.... Yes, why do you ask?" Rainbow asked, with a curious look.
"Well," Twilight pulled out what seemed to be a piece of paper. "This spell lets us go to another human world like that one, except this one is different in many ways." Rainbow went into thought.
"So..... Your going to another version of the world you went to?" Rainbow asked, rubbing her head. Twilight nodded.
"Yes, but in order for it to work, we need six ponies or more..." Twilights voice trailed off, not really wanting to be rude to Rainbow. She, however caught onto this, and smiled.
"Sure, I would love to go with you to this, weird human world." Rainbow Dash put her hoof to her chin in thought. "I wonder what it will be like to be a human..."
"In this world, you don't get changed into a human when you go through, you stay pony, I think." Twilight said.
"Awww, oh well, still I would like to go." Rainbow said. Twilight giggled.
"Great! We just need our other friends for this to work." Twilight said, and Rainbow nodded.
"Well then, let's get......." Rainbow's voice trailed off, as she suddenly felt something was wrong. Something really bad, in fact.
"Rainbow? Are you okay?" Twilight asked, causing her to snap out of her little trance.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine, just got a feeling about something, that's all." Rainbow said, with a smile. Twilight gave her a suspicious look, but soon shrugged it off, as it just because Rainbow was Rainbow.
"Alright, whatever you say." Twilight stated, as they left to find their other friends.
Rainbow Dash, along with her friends, we're all gathered in a opened field. Each of them had a look of curiosity.
"Darling, how will we get to this, "Human World" again?" Rarity asked, and Twilight walked up to her.
"All we have to do, is use this spell, and then we should be there, is everypony ready?" Twilight asked, and her friends all gave her a nod of approval. "Alright, lets use the spell then." As she said this, her horn glowed with a bright purple light surrounded them, as they all turned into nothing but a white light, as they slowly vanished into thin air.
In The Human World.....
Rainbow Dash, began to slowly wake up. Rainbow Dash sat up, and rubbed her head.
"Ow, what happened?" Rainbow Dash asked, as she looked around the area she found herself in. "Where is this place?" It seemed like some sort of park, that was empty, with no one around at all. "Hello? Is anypony out there?" Rainbow called out, but the only response she got, was the silence.
"Where did my friends go?" Rainbow asked herself. Everything around her seemed so much different. The building were built differently, there were these black paved things outside of the park that had a yellow line shooting down the middle of them.
"Maybe I can find somepony to help me, I hope." Rainbow said to herself, as she began to make her way out of the park. As she walked out, she saw a figure, who was holding something by its ear area. Rainbow walked up to him, slowly.
"No, I already told you not to do that, but you never listen to me!" The man shouted. Rainbow hesitantly taped his back.
"Excuse me, sir, I'm a bit.." Rainbow was cut off, when the man turned around, and gasped.
"Are.... You a talking pony?" He asked.
"Yes, I am, my name is Rainbow Dash, and I'm the fastest flyer in all of equestria." Rainbow said, doing a small pose.
"Oh my god! Its a actual talking pony!" The man shouted, grabbing the attention of the other people around him. The all walked up to her, shocked and surprised that she was there. That's when Rainbow became a little uncomfortable.
"I'm a talking pony, so what?" Rainbow asked, and they all began to run up to her, with their phones out, taking pictures. Rainbow backed up a bit.
"Stay back! Get away from me!" Rainbow shouted, as she began to fly off in the opposite direction then them. As she flew, she looked for a safe place to hid, from the ever growing mob of people. She soon found an ally way, that seemed like no one was in. She quickly flew in it, and hid behind a dumpster.
"I.... I think I lost them....." Rainbow said. Her thoughts were soon interrupted, when she heard the sound of something. It was crying. She wasn't sure if she should try to find out what exactly was crying, or just fly off. Something inside her told her to check out what the crying was, and where it was coming from.
"Hello? Is somepony there?" Rainbow asked to who ever was crying. The crying got a little more quit, but not by a lot.
"W-who's there?" The tiny voice asked. Rainbow could tell that the voice feared her. She wasn't really that great with these types of situations.
"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you kid." Rainbow said, trying to sound reassuringly. "I'm friendly." She heard some shuffling coming from somewhere in the ally. She then saw the tiny figure of a human child walk out of the darkened ally. Rainbow was shocked to see that he was in such poor conditions.
"Are..... You a p-pony...?" He asked, with some unsureness in his voice.
"Yeah." Rainbow Dash said. "My name is Rainbow Dash, and I'm the fastest flyer in all of equestria, do you have a name?" The boy nodded.
"Yeah.... My name is Drake..." Drake said. Now that Rainbow knew his name, she wanted to know why he was out in the ally all alone.
"Kid..... Why aren't you with your parents?" Rainbow asked. Drake cringed at the thought.
"Well, I live with me dad, but he.... he isn't very nice to me." Drake said. Instantly, Rainbow began getting bad vibes from this.
"What do you mean, by "Not nice?" Rainbow questioned.
"He's just really mean sometimes, I guess." Drake said. "How can you talk?" Rainbow chuckled a bit at the question.
"Where I'm from, almost everypony can talk." Rainbow said. "I'm trying to find my other friends that came with me here, but I had no such luck yet." Drake thought about something.
"Maybe.... If you want..... You can come stay with me at my house, if that's okay with you." Drake said. rainbow thought about it.
It has to be better than being out in the cold, right? Rainbow thought to herself, as she looked back at the child.
"Sure, we can crash at your place, until I have to leave to find my friends." Rainbow said. Drake smiled at her.
"Okay..... My house is this way..." He said, pointing in that direction. They began to walk to the house.
This kid says his dad's mean to him.... He couldn't possibly mean abusive, can he...? Rainbow asked herself in her thoughts, as they made their way down the road.
