//------------------------------// // PART 3 CHAPTER 4 // Story: Secrets // by SpeedStarArtist //------------------------------// CHAPTER 4: 6 years later, Speed Star was still happily living her life as a Wonderbolt. Today was Sunday, so it was Speed Stars day off and was headed for rarity's boutique to get her dress for this year's Grand Galloping Gala made. Every year, Rarity insisted on making her dress, the two had become very good friends over the years just by rarity making dresses and the teo ponies chatting; Speed Star had also become good friends with Fluttershy, twilight, Applejack, and pinkie pie. However, today Yuki was also in Ponyville, ever since she became a Shadowbolt, she became stronger mentally and physically, she didn't care if anypony called her stupid anymore. However, she gets angry very easily. Speed Star was in her own little world, It was a lovely sunny morning, there weren't many clouds in the sky so the sun was warming every corner of Ponyville. The pink Pegasus was daydreaming about flying and of course, her boyfriend, Dusk Rise. Dusk Rise was a dark grey Pegasus pony, most of the female ponies would fangirl him, but he loved Speed Star and she loved him, nothing had ever come between the two. Speed Star was enjoying the sun so absent mindedly that it caused her to walk right into Yuki. "Hey, watch where you're going you idiot" Yuki shouted angrily " well somepony is a little mad" Speed Star chuckled. "What's that supposed to mean?" Yuki growled as she pushed speed star. "It means, calm ya freakin' farm kid" speed star snapped as she returned the push. "Well.... well... I'm better than you" Yuki said, not being able to think of a better come back. "And how exactly, do you figure that? Do you even know who I am?" speed star questioned the blue pony. "Well what have you done that's so great then?" Yuki asked "well, you know Rainbow Dash?" Speed Star asked. "Well duh, didn't she die?" Yuki asked "I killed her" Speed Star said "yeah right, she probably just died from old age" Yuki sneered "She's only a year older than me" Speed star said "So… that doesn't prove anything" Yuki jeered "Don't believe me, then come with me" Speed Star grabbed Yuki and sped off for Canterlot archives. Speed Star and Yuki were standing in front of a plaque hanging on one of the walls with a photo of Speed Star on it "read that kid" she said confidently. "Awarded to Speed Star the Pegasus for her service in 'taking care of' the owner of the rainbow department of the weather factory, rainbow dash. after finding evidence of ponies being murdered there, this brave pony was asked to' take care of the situation'." Yuki read aloud. "Yeah… well… I… flew with a broken wing" Yuki was trying to one up Speed Star "You think that's something? Both of my wings were broken for 6 years of my life. Let's just stop arguing, put our differences aside and stuff". Speed Star said. "we could probably become good friends" Then Dusk Rise flew into the room "Duskie, how did you find me?" Speed Star asked as she nuzzled the dark grey Pegasus pony "Your brother told me, that thing how he always knows where you are thing is very handy. Who is this pony your with?" he explained and asked. "This is… er… I don't know, what is your name kid?" Speed Star asked Yuki "First off Speed Star, stop calling me kid. And my name is Yuki" "That's a cool name" Dusk Rise smiled, whenever he met a new pony, he was always nice to them. Yuki blushed. Could it be possible that she was in love with her new friends' boyfriend? "So, uh what are you two doing here?" Dusk asked as he nuzzled Speed Star "Yuck! You two are making me sick" Yuki said "Get used to it" Speed Star murmured as she stared into her boyfriend's eyes. "Well, I'm leaving if you ponies are going to continue" Yuki said as she trotted towards the door. "Huh… wait no" Speed Star turned and trotted to Yuki. "Why Don't we all get to know each other?" Yuki smiled "Okay, let's go sit on a cloud" Dusk Rise suggested. The three Pegasi flew to Cloudsdale and sat on a cloud. "Okay, I'll start" Speed Star said "Let's go with, how old you are and stuff like that" Yuki suggested. "Okay, I'm 16, I've been going out with Duskie for 6 years, I killed Rainbow Dash, I was flightless for 6 years of my life I, have a twin brother, his name is Quick Silver… er… I'll tell you something secret another day" Speed Star said, she didn't want to tell Yuki about the Wonderbolts… just yet. She hated all the attention her fans gave her, they were always bugging her for interviews or giving her gifts. "ME NEXT!" Yuki yelled "Okay, I'm 14 I'm kinda shy, and I love the night time" "Okay, I guess it's my turn" Dusk Rise said "like Speed Star, I'm 16, I've been dating her for 6 years, and I like flying, but not races." "Well, now that we know a little more about each other" Speed Star started "we'll all get along better" "Hey Speed Star" Yuki asked "Yeah" the pink Pegasus replied. "When can I meet your brother? He sounds like he's be cute" Yuki laughed "Aaaah Yuki, I have no idea… I'll ask him when we can meet up, just for you, okay" Speed Star answered. Speed Star looked up, the sky had started to go dark "wow, looks like we've been talking all day, we should all go home, get some sleep. "Yup, I've… gotta, go do some stuff tonight" Yuki replied "we should meet up tomorrow, in the café outside the library' Speed Star replied "Agreed" Yuki said "Good night Yuki" Dusk Rise said as he flew off towards the ground, he was heading for the Wonderbolt compound. "Yeah, night Yuki" Speed Star said as she followed dusk rise. "Bye guys" Yuki said as she headed for the Everfree forest. Yuki was in her house, located deep within the Everfree forest; she was sitting at the computer, talking to her boss, Hex. They were talking about Shadowbolt business, when there was a knock on the door; Yuki switched off the computer and answered the door.
