//------------------------------// // Burning Memories // Story: Falcon Fright Begins // by FalconFrightRises //------------------------------// “Thanks for helping me today,” said Twilight. “No problem,” replied Rainbow Dash,” Besides, the Wonderbolts show doesn’t start for a few hours anyways.” “Anyways, you know how Trixie was a showoff?” Twilight asked Dash. “Yeah, what about it?” replied Rainbow Dash. “Well from what I’ve observed the Wonderbolts seem like showoffs as well. So why do you like the Wonderbolts anyways?” asked Twilight. “Because they’re fast,” Rainbow Dash said. “Well I figured. Well I think this library is looking really good. You can go now,” Twilight said. Rainbow Dash flew out of the house and back to her house in Cloudsdale. As Rainbow Dash grabbed her Wonderbolt’s hat, she stopped at the door. She stared at the wall, feeling guility for lying to Twilight. “Mom, why can’t I play a bit longer?” a flightless Filly Rainbow Dash asked her mom. “Because it’s getting dark and we need to get back to our apartment in Manehattan,”her mom replied. “I’m getting hungry. What’s for dinner mom?” Rainbow asked her mom. “Frozen Pizza,” replied her mom, “I’m putting it in the oven right now.” Rainbow Dash went to her room, and lay down on her bed. She fell asleep without her mom knowing. Soon after she fell asleep, her mom smelled burning. She went to the kitchen, to find the oven was overheated and on fire, along with the rest of kitchen, and was quickly spreading along the room. Her and Rainbow Dash’s dad ran flew outside and landed on the ground, and saw it was quickly spreading along the building. “Mom? Dad?!” Rainbow Dash said in fear, seeing the flames. Outside, Spitfire, at the time a junior Wonderbolt appeared. Rainbow Dash’s mom said when she saw her, “My daughter’s in there. Please help!” Spitfire quickly looked through the rooms and found Rainbow Dash in the living room, panting, almost passed out. “Mom… dad… where are you?!” Rainbow Dash said, coughing, “Help…. Me…” She collapsed onto the floor, passed out. Spitfire grabbed her with hooves and flew out of the building. Rainbow Dash woke up in her hands and saw her face as Spitfire was flying out of the building. Spitfire put Rainbow Dash into her mom’s hands. “Here you go mam,” Spitfire said. She soared off, Rainbow Dash seeing a glimpse of her before passing out again. “I’ll never forget that day,” Rainbow said as she walked out the door.
