//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Packing And A Day With Friends // Story: Changes In A Rainbow // by My Rainbow Dash //------------------------------// The next morning Rainbow nearly jumped out of her bed in excitement. It was the first day of packing. She bounced around her room like a 5-year-old getting ice cream with chocolate syrup and sprinkles on top. She quickly but quietly ran to the living room, grabbed some boxes, and ran back to her room. She plugged her earbuds into her phone and started playing music. True Original She hummed along to the song while swaying her hips to the beat. She packed up her trophies and put them in multiple boxes. (Due to her having so many). She then picked up her Daring Do books and placed them on their own. While putting other things away, she heard a knock on her door. She turned to see her mom standing in the doorway. She stood up, walked to her mom, and the two shared a hug. "Morning, Mom." "Morning, sweetie pie. Did you have a good night's sleep?" Rainbow nodded. "Nice. Now come to the kitchen. Your father's making breakfast and he wants you to eat it otherwise he'll be eating all of it which we don't want." The two shared a laugh and walked to the kitchen. The fresh smell of pancake made dash drool and her stomach grumble. Once she heard it, her face flushed in embarrassment as her mom laughed. Then her dad's voice broke the silence. "Well, seems like someone's hungry." He chuckled. Rainbow's cheeks turned a darker pink. "Can we have breakfast now? Please?" The two adults laughed at how their daughter acted. "Of course, we can, Kiddo. What, you think we made it for nothing?" Rainbow rolled her eyes but smiled at her dad's actions. After a quick breakfast, Dash was about to head back to her room when there was a knock on the door. Rainbow was going to start walking to the door, but her mom held her back. "You go continue packing. I'll answer the door." Rainbow nodded and headed back to her room. As soon as she walked in she connected her phone to her speaker via Bluetooth and played one of her favorite songs. All Good Rainbow Dash sang along with the song while packing and dancing to it. At the end of the song, two yellow hands covered her eyes. Then a voice spoke. "Sup, Crash." Rainbow froze. Could it be? She turned around and saw a firey-haired girl standing in front of her including a few other girls. "Spitfire? Fleetfoot? Blaze? Misty Fly? High Winds? Surprise? What are you guys doing here? Also, where are the guys?" The six girls from Cloudsdale laughed. "Don't worry," Surprise assured the rainbow-haired girl. "The guys are fine. They wanted to set a surprise for you when you get back." "Well, that doesn't sound good," Dash stated and all the girls broke out laughing. "I think you might wanna help them with that, Surprise." "No worries. I will once we get back. I'll give the boys some tips before everything goes nuts." The yellow-haired girl smiled and patted the rainbow-haired girl's shoulder. Rainbow rolled her eyes. "I don't doubt that for sure." She chuckled and shook her head. They spent the entire morning packing before it was lunchtime and the six Cloudsdale High girls took their friend out for lunch. While they waited for their food, they talked. "So, how's everything at CHS?" Rainbow Dash asked the six Cloudsdale High girls. Fleetfoot was the first to respond. "Oh, everything's fine. We managed to get Lightning Dust to chill out and not be such a bully. She's with us now." She smiled and Dash did the same. Spitfire changed the good mood though. "Can't say the same for Hoops, Score, and Dumbbell. Those three are so hard to deal with. We must keep standing up for other students they bully or tease. It's so annoying." Dash rolled her eyes and facepalmed. "I was one of their favorite targets for the longest time until I left. I was relieved that I wouldn't have to deal with it, but another student came to Canterlot High School and started running things for everyone. Her name is Sunset Shimmer and she comes from a place called Equestria. We end up having a portal that connects to that world in a statue in front of the school. She ended up bringing magic into our world and things changed dramatically. She tore friends apart including mine with my friends. It lasted a long while, but then this girl named Twilight Sparkle came in, also from Equestria, and helped reunite me and my friends back together and help her win the Fall Formal princess crown. That crown belonged to her, but Sunset Shimmer only wanted the magic from the crown which ended up turning her into a demon who wanted to rule over Equestria. With Twilight, we managed to defeat Sunset with the magic of friendship. We ended up growing pony ears, our hair extended and formed a tail at its end, and Twilight, Fluttershy, and I ended up growing wings. It was completely awesome. After that, we defeated Sunset, Twilight asked us if we could watch over Sunset and befriend her. It turned out well for us, but not for everyone else. Not long after, we had some other beings from Equestria come into our world stole our magic with singing, and managed to turn our musical showcase into a battle of the bands. They ended up feeding on our magic by singing. Things didn't turn out so well. I also don't want to talk about it. Then a few months later, we ended up having the Friendship Games against CPA. Then the Twilight from this world ended up taking our magic and turned herself into a magical demon as well. Sunset ended up showing her what friendship was. Then we went camping Everfree and ended up getting these magical geodes." She paused and pointed at her necklace. "Well, we got them after receiving magic powers. What I find awesome about mine is that I have super speed. We ended up getting these geodes after defeating the camp leader who was trying to make it the best week ever, but things didn't turn out that well when she got corrupted by the Equestrian magic. Too much has happened and it's making me get a headache. And now I'm rambling." The girls all laughed. "Wow, you went through a lot." Spitfire joked. The girls all broke out laughing. Their food finally arrived and they are in silence. After they finished eating, they went back to Dash's house to continue packing. They laughed and packed until it was time for the six girls to head home. Rainbow hugged her friends and waved as they drove off. She smiled as she walked up to her bathroom, brushed her teeth, and went to bed with a smile on her face.
