Rainbow Dash shot straight up awake this morning, excited for another day in the weather team. She dashed down the stairs, feeding Tank and made herself some toast.
She rushed out the door pausing to admire the beautiful weather. It won't be before long, as light rain was on the schedule for this evening, followed by clear skies at night.
As she looked to the right she yelp, startled by the newcomer. She slowly crept to the dark sleeping form. At first, Rainbow thought it was just a strange bird, but quickly realize she was a pony.
She thought she was a regular Pegasus, but as she crept slowly to her she starts to noticed bat wings instead of the usual feathered wings.
Her ears have tuff of fur at the tips and her blue wings are the same color as her mane. Who is this strange pony and why is she sleeping near my door, she wondered.
She then notices that she was twitching and tears were streaming down her eyes. Nothing else to do she poked her on the back.
The strange bat mare starts to stir, her eyes starting to flicker open, revealing strange bright blue cat-like eyes. Rainbow also sees that she's wearing some sort of uniform.
The black mare jumped startled, seeing the prismatic mane Pegasus, backing up in fear ready to flee. Dash jumped in her way calming the strange mare with a friendly look in her eyes.
"Wait! I'm sorry that I scared ya." She intterupted. "But I was wondering what you're doing sleeping at my house. I'm Rainbow Dash, by the way!" she said with a grin. The bat pony calms down a bit.
Then she replied nervously "Blue Electric. I was sleeping by your house because I was out for a midnight flight, then I landed on a cloud tho observe the town, since I just moved here the night before yesterday and I discovered this place," she explained tearfully.
"I'm sorry, I promise not to do it again." She was still trembling with fear. Without thinking, Rainbow wrapped her forelegs around the shivering mare.
"It's okay. I'm not mad, just startled. It's all cool. I sleep in random places too." Blue flinched for a moment and after a few moments, exchange the hug.
"Now, I was wondering, why were you crying in your sleep?", she asked.
"Just a little nightmare. Nothing more." She murmured, staring at the cloud beneath her.
Rainbow then looked at the town clock and said, "Look, as much I want to chat, I have weather duties to attend. So why don't we meet back near Sugarcube Corner, and I'll introduce you to some of my friends and have some grub."
Blue was looking uncertain for a moment. But she then sighed and answered. "I'll meet you there." She smiled at the rainbow maned mare politely. "Thanks."
Rainbow smiled back at her appreciatly. She then waved at her and flew off to the weather factory.
After she was done patching up the sky for the evening shower, she went to Twilight's castle and knocked on the door.
A young purple dragon answered the door. "Hey Spike, is Twilight home?" "Oh, sure Rainbow Dash! Twilight!" A purple Alicorn walked up to the door.
"Hey, Rainbow Dash, what seems to be the problem?" She asked curiously.
"Well there's this new pony in town that suddenly showed up and slept on my doorstep, and I was wondering we could, you know, we all could head out and head over to Sugercube Corner to meet her, and introduce ourselves?." She explained.
Twilight thought for a moment, then nodded her head in agreement. "Sure, I'm not busy right now, so I'll head over right away." Rainbow Dash nodded and flew away to get the other four.
As they all got there, Pinkie was already there, harassing the new pony. "Oh, it's been so long since we have someone new here! Welcome to Ponyville! What's your name!"
Rarity walked over and whacked Pinkie on the with a branch with her magic. "Pinkie Pie! Stop harassing that poor guess!".
Throwing the branch away, she turned to Blue Electric, "I'm sorry dear, Pinkie Pie can be such a hoof full. The names Rarity, by the way." Blue dipped her head in greetings.
The others took their turn to greet their new guest. "I'm Twilight, it so nice to meet you!" Fluttershy hid behind her mane shyly, "Umm...I'm Fluttershy." "And I'm Applejack, nice to meet ya". Greeted the farmer mare lastly.
Rainbow Dash then led them in the sweet shop.
They each ordered their sweets; Rainbow ordered a zap apple cupcake, Twilight ordered some apple cinnamon muffins, Rarity ordered a tart, Applejack, a slice of zap apple pie, Pinkie Pie grabbed a bag full of candy, Fluttershy, some daisy cookies, and Blue, a slice of cherry pie. They each order some ice tea. They all sat at a table near the window.
They all ask where she's from and where she's been living at now.
Twilight was excited that Blue lives and works in a museum, while Rainbow thinks is awesome that she is a nightguard. She told them that her mother passed away and Fluttershy walked over and gave her a hug.
After their talk Blue left to sleep at home before her shift. The light evening shower finally fell.
"There is one thing I had forgot to mention, When I found her curled up next to my door, she was twitching and crying in her sleep." The cyan pegasus told with concern.
The other exchange worried expressions. Then Twilight spoke, "Well, I've been reading on some book about psychology, and I came across something about that and I think Blue might have a traumatize childhood, and with the death of her mother I think it got worst."
Pinkie's face was etched with guilt, her mane wilting a little, "Sorry that I yelled in her face, I was just excited too see a new face in so long. If i knew that something is wrong with her, I would never do that in first place."
Twilight put a hoof reassuringly on Pinkie shoulder, "Its alright Pinkie, you didn't know," She turns to the others, "Alright everypony. I need everypony to keep an eye on her whenever she's out, we each take turns to stay at town each night to make sure she's alright."
All five of them look uncertain, they all have responsibilities and need sleep. But they all agree to make sure her new life in Ponyville is comforting.
They also decided on a sleepover at the castle this weekend and invite Blue That made Pinkie's mane poof back to normal. Twilight also decided to tell Mayor Mare to tell the town council to watch for a little while.
Rainbow Dash left to clear away clouds from the light rain. As she kicked the last cloud away, she decided to check on Blue and landed near the Museum. She did not like what egghead stuff they had in there, but she needed to go and check on her new friend.
She notices a basement window and peck inside. She saw Blue curled up under a blanket. Her eyes widened in delight.
All around her bed was Daring Do stuff. Where did she even get that blanket? Seeing that she is alright she flew back home, happy that there's a new local DD fan.
