//------------------------------// // Chapter Six // Story: Rainbow Dash Meets Firefly // by Princess Starshine //------------------------------// ***********************************RD********************************** "Okay, ya ready?" said Rainbow. "Born ready!" said Firefly. "Wheelchair race in 3, 2, 1... go!" screamed RD as they rode their wheelchairs super fast. "Oh yeah! I am so going to win this!" said Firefly. "Not if I do first!"said Rainbow as she and Firefly made it out of the Hospital. "Yes! I win! Told ya I am faster!" said Firefly as she stared at the Canterlot Hospital. "Well, I have to say, you win this round but once our wings heal, I will challenge you to another race!" Said Rainbow Dash. "Okay, but I have one question, this Canterlot looks just like the one I visited once, but there are so many differences in the ponies!" said Firefly. "What do you mean by that?" said Rainbow. "I mean, look... Prince Compass looks so different... Prince Compass was the guy whom Sparkler used to have a crush on, until the grand galoping gala." said Firefly. "Actually, his name is Prince Blueblood. But he is a real spoiled brat. Wait, you went to the gala?" said Rainbow. "Yeah, I was going because I wanted to chat with the Wonderbolts, in you know, my demension, but I turn out damaging a priceless statue!" said Firefly. "Oh my gosh! I did the same thing too! And then I said..." "I just don't know what went wrong!" Both of them said as they exploded with laughter. "I swear! Dizty said that all the time back at flight camp! She was the camp couniciler in training!" said Rainbow. "No way! She did that too!" said Firefly. "Finally! Somepony who actually is super awesome and relates to me in everyway! Other than Fluttershy... hey, if Posey isn't a pegasis, then how did you meet her?" said Rainbow Dash. "Well, it was a long time ago, about 7 years ago..." said Firefly as she had a flashback... ****************************************************************** Firefly was a young filly, she was soaring the sky near Fillydelfia, looking at the trees, especially the one where she likes to take naps at, a big old cherry blossom tree, which reminds her of the apple tree where she met her friend, Applejack, but that is a different story. Anyway, she was just going to rest her eyes, when something kept poking her. "Five more minutes!" Firefly grunted sleeply as the thing kept poking her arm, then she opened her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she saw a filly, a little older than her, tapping her arm. "Huh?" said Firefly as she eyed the filly. "I am so sorry I woke you... I was just... nevermind." said the light orange pink maned filly. "No, I'm sorry. This must be your tree." said Firefly as she landed on the ground, and saw that the filly was on a ladder, and was a earth pony. "Thank you very much, now here you go Blossom! Nice juicy water." said they filly as she watered the cherry blossom, making it bloom so beautiful. "Woah! That was truly awesome! My name's Firefly! What's yours?" said Firefly. "I'm Posey..." said the filly very softly Firefly couldn't hear it. "Sorry, can you say that again?" said Firefly. "I'm Posey..." said the filly a little bit louder that Firefly heard it a little. "Posey? Is that it?" said Firefly as Posey nodded. "POSEY! Get here this minute!" yelled a voice. "I have to go..." said Posey as she ran to the house on a few hills. Firefly didn't enjoy sneaking in anypony's bissiness, but something, she didn't know what, temped her. "Posey! What are you doing at that hill?!" said a figure which looked like a stallion. "I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me! I will never do it again!" said Posey. "Oh really! This is the fifth time this month you tried to go to that stupid hill and get out of work!" said the stallion. "Please don't hurt me! I am just doing what I am good at!" said Posey. "What you're good at is cleaning and cooking! Now turn around!" said the stallion. "Please! No!" said Posey as Firefly saw that the stallion whipped her. "I can't believe this! I need to help Posey!" said Firefly as she dashed away. LATER: Firefly came back to the cottage, tonight, she had a plan, to get Posey out of the house. "Pist! Posey! Hey!" said Firefly as Posey opened the window. "Firefly! What are you doing here?! Go away before he sees you!" said Posey. "I am here to rescue you, I saw what he did to you, how many times have he done this to you?" said Firefly. "Ever since I was three... listen! I can't escape! He killed my mom when she ran away from him, I don't want to die!" said Posey as she cried sliently. "It's ok. I have a plan. Now hurry!" said Firefly, "Trust me, I won't let him kill you without killing me first." "Wow. We just met and you would do that for me, Thank you, Firefly." said Posey as she got to the window ledge. The two fillies then ran as fast as they could, and eventually they lost the stallion, who was chasing after them. "Ok, this is the place." said Firefly as she opened the door of "Nurse Redheart's caring center". When they came in, a mare with dark blue mane and a very light blue coat assit them. "Hello, Firefly!" said the mare. "Hi Nurse Seaside, Um, I have a filly who needs new parents, you see Posey's, the filly over there, dad killed her mom and forced Posey into colt-labor, she been almost a slave since she was three! And we escaped the dad but she needs to be with a different family, one who is loving and caring..." said Firefly. "I know just the ponies!" said Nurse Seaside as she dialed the phone, "Hello, is this the Flower resitence?" There was a mumur on the phone. "Yes, um, Violet, I have a filly here who would be a perfect addition to your three foals, Rose, Daisy, and Lilly." There was a another mumur on the phone. "Ok, I will see you soon," said Nurse Seaside, "Posey, deary, you are adopted!" "Oh my gosh! Thank you! I never been so happy in my life!" said Posey. "This family comes from Ponyville, so then you and Firefly here can still be friends!" Said Seaside. "Really?! Seaside, I can't thank you enough! First, you got me Surprise and now this! Thank you!" "Oh, and I called your mom, she says she is very proud of you!" said Seaside. Then there was a knock on the door. Seaside opened the door, revealing a mare with purple mane and a very very light pink coat it looked like white. Her cutie mark was two Violets. A stallion was behind her. The stallion is a light brown coat and a dark brown mane. His cutie mark is a tree with green leaves on it. Then three fillies came. The first one has a very light yellow coat and has a red and pink mane pulled into a ponytail. Her cutie mark is a rose. The second filly has a light pink coat and has a green mane. Her cutie mark is two Daisies. The last filly has also a pink coat, only that it was a little darker than the second filly, she has a blond mane, which was in a braid and it was covered in tiny lillies. Her cutie mark is three lillies. "I got your call, now who is the filly we will adopt?" said the mare. "Hi, I'm Posey... nice to meet you!" said Posey. "She is a flower filly. Nice! I think I found my filly!" said the mare. And Posey was adopted and everything was grand. ********************************************************************* "Wow, that was the most brave and amazing story I heard! I am crying right now!" said Rainbow as she got a tissue. "Yeah, it was, wasn't it..." said Firefly. "Yeah..." said Rainbow, "Yeah, it was."
