//------------------------------// //   :: An investigation begins and sorrow revealed. // Story: Rainbows times two // by ScarletRhine //------------------------------// “So if that’s the case Miss Do, you know. about something called an EM2 event?” Rarity asks.” “I'm afraid neither I nor Prometheus know much about this. ‘EM2 Event’ you are speaking of.” Miss Do replies. “Miss Do, the good earth has connected to this one and some of the humans over there are coming here. The event was called that do to the name of the first one to cross over The Blue EM2” Rarity says. “And if I remember correctly there are others” RR says. “Plus don't assume who or what ever is behind this is a god, it could be a spirit of Chaos.” When she noticed several people looking at her she said, “What. You got to admit the chaos created by such an event might entertain such a being.” Professor Do nodded. “I have a team scattered about the city gathering data. We plan to scour the city for the source and hopefully contain it.” With that said Professor Do walked off. Rainbow Rose then started to leave when Rainbow Dash caught her arm and said, “Hey Double R, where are you going.” The younger Rainbow haired teen jerked her arm free and said, “I'm going to our place to do my homework & get some training in before you get home and I won't able concentrate.” Before storming off. Dash stared in shock as her cousin turned a corner before turning to the others and asking, “What's her problem?” “You my dear Rainbow Dash, RR seems to always be in your shadow and she’s getting sick of hearing ‘Rainbow dash is the best, why don’t you be more like her’ from both your mom and dad.” Rarity says. “But she has a lot going for her. She a top notch athlete, in fact if she got on the track team she'd unseat me as team captain.” Dash replied. “Yeah Mom & Dad are super supportive of me. But RR and I are alike in many ways.” “Rainbow dear, don’t scare me like that” Rarity says, not sure how Rainbow got back so fast. “Sorry.” The chromatic haired teen replied. “But what can I do about it?” “Well you could try talking with her.” A.J. replied “True, dear” Rarity says. Rainbow Dash sighs and sits down. “How A.J.?” R.D. says. “We have been at odds for our whole lives. How do I approach her without either of us getting into some contest?” The Rainbooms made their way to the home of Rainbow Dash. When they got there they found Windy Whistles staring down the hallway worriedly. “Mom. Have you seen RR?” Dash asked. Her Mother looked down the hallway leading to the home gym and said. "Rainbow Rose just went to the gym crying, and hasn't come out. Your Father went to get help in case she hurt herself.” The rainbooms looked at eachother with concern, worry (and in Fluttershy case dread) before the ran to the gym When the opened the door they found Rose hugging her knees, crying. Concerned Rainbow Dash walked up to the younger girl and kneeled. “Why? Why'd you guys have to make sure everyone got out? WHY!?!” Dash heard her say. Pinkie's hair deflated and she began to bawl and ran upto and hugged Rose who clamped onto the pink girl and let out all the hurt she was feeling. One by one they all hugged and comforted the girl. When they all separated there was a flash. Turning in the direction of the flash they saw Bow and Windy standing in the doorway, Bow Hotfoot holding a Camera. Both of Rainbow Dash's Parents had combined looks of sorrow and pride. “Mom. Dad don’t.” Rainbow Dash said before her parents could say a word. They nodded and left though Dash saw her father lean over and whisper something to her mother who nodded. “Rose darling what has you in such a state?” Rarity asked concerned. “I miss them. Rainbow Rose said. “I 60miss my mom's cooking, singing & help w/ my homework. I miss my daddy's boisterous tales, his martial arts lessons, and I miss his thundering chilli. But I miss them. I WANT THEM BAAAAAACK!!!” Rose then grabbed the nearest person, which happened to be Rainbow Dash and cried herself to sleep. “Oh my” Rarity says. With help from Applejack, Rainbow Dash took Rainbow Rose to the room they shared. After putting her in bed the Rainbooms went back to the living room. Rainbow Dash's parents were waiting for them. “She really misses them, doesn't she.” her father said. Pinkie nodded, her hair slightly deflated. Suddenly, it poofed out as she said, “Hay! Why don't you guys allow her to go to Camp Everfree?.” Bow Hotfoot then went to the dining room table and signed a permission slip saying, “Spectrum and I went to Camp Everfree when we were going to Canterlot High. Maybe going there will help her.” “Mister Hotfoot, are you sure that can be done, the school is a bit more mixed” Rarity says remembering what happened the last time she tried to sneak Sweetie Belle into an event. Windy Whistles nods then says, “I think it be best if both our rainbows go as they'll be sister soon enough.” At the confused looks from the girls Bow said, “Spectrum and I made a pact that if either or both of us had kids and something happened to the other to take them into our family. With Spectrum’s death it falls to me to adopt Rainbow Rose.” “I think we may have to check with the school to see if we can do that” Rarity says. Rainbow Dash and the rest of the Rainbooms were surprised. Then Windy Added, “We were going to send her to the camp so she and dash could bond.” The Rainbooms relaxed then parted ways to end an exciting day. Preparation for Camp Everfree had begun. Little did everyone know that in a crystal cave several geoded began to glow. “I hope the school allows RR to come, but my sister and the CMC are going to be another story” Rarity says unaware of a purple geode glowing in said cave.
