Rainbow Dash stared out the window of the bus. Outside, rain pounded the exterior side of the bus's window. She looked down and sighed. "We're almost there." called the bus driver. She grabbed her bag off the floor and zipped up her raincoat. The bus came to a stop. "Here it is miss." said the bus driver. Rainbow put her hood over her head and threw her bag over her shoulder. "Thanks mister." she said as she handed him a bit.
She hopped off the bus and searched for a dry place to sit. She found a small diner and walked in. "Hello and welcome little miss. Are you Rainbow Dash?" asked a waitress. "Well.....yea that's me. Is my Aunt here?" she said in a shy voice. "Follow me. She's over this way." replied the waitress. Rainbow followed her through the diner till they came to a pony with a white mane. "Mrs. Weather. Rainbow is here." said the waitress. The light gray mare looked at Rainbow. She was very pretty. Big round blue eyes, long white mane and tail, and a wonderful cutie mark. It was a dark gray cloud with rain coming from the cloud. "Come and sit. I've been waiting for you." said her Aunt. Rainbow set her bag on the floor under the table and sat down. "Aunt Weather? Have you eaten yet? I am really hungry." asked Rainbow. "Oh Rainbow your so sweet. Please call me Aunt Stormy. And no, I haven't eaten yet. Shall we order?
After they ate, they drove home to Aunt Stormy's farm. There was a big red barn, a smaller brown barn, and a brown and stone house. Aunt Stormy drove the car close to the porch so they wouldn't get soaked from the rain. They ran inside. Rainbow Dash shook off some of the water. She looked at her surroundings. They were in a small entry way. The walls in the entry way were light yellow. A small closet on both sides. There was a thin table to the right and a white loveseat to the left. The crown molding was white and the floor was wood. She stood on a large welcome mat. "Well here we are." said Aunt Stormy. "Wow. I didn't expect it to look like this in here. Its cozy." said Rainbow. Aunt Stormy laughed. "Well over there is the living room. To the left is the kitchen and bathroom, and to the right is the laundry room and staircase. Come, I'll take you to your room." said Aunt Stormy.
Aunt Stormy took Rainbow up the stairs and down a small hallway. She stopped at the second door and opened it. "This will be your room. I know it's not perfect, but it will do." Rainbow dropped her bag and walked in. She looked up. The walls were a sky blue color and the ceiling had white fluffy clouds painted on it. Rainbow turned around and looked at her Aunt. She ran up and hugged her. "It is perfect. I love it. Thank you so much." cried Rainbow. "Well I am glad you liked it. It's getting late. How about you unpack and go to bed. I'll wake you up in the morning." After that Aunt Stormy kissed her on the head and closed the door.
Rainbow did not want to go to sleep. She looked around her room some more. She had a twin sized bed, a dresser, a side table, a desk, and a closet. She also had two small bean-bag chairs. All the furniture was a light wood. The closet and the bedroom door matched. The floor was covered in a white carpet. Rainbow opened the closet door and set her bag inside, thinking she would unpack tomorrow. She was tired and wanted to sleep. She pulled off her boots and coat. She found a towel and wiped herself dry. Then at last, climbing under the covers to sleep.
The next day Rainbow woke up to Aunt Stormy shaking her slightly. "Come on, get up. I made some breakfast. I also want to talk to you. Come on, lets go, get up." Rainbow turned over on her side so she can see her. She opened her eyes. "OK. I'm up now. I'll be down in a minute." yawned Rainbow. Aunt Stormy spun and walked back down stairs. Rainbow rolled out of bed and walked to the window. It was a bright sunny day. Much nicer then the day before. Rainbow rubbed her eyes. She brushed her mane and tail and walked downstairs.
"Hey there you are! I only made oatmeal. Sorry." Aunt Stormy blushed. "It's OK Aunt Stormy. I am fine with cereal tomorrow." said Rainbow. "Wells that good. I can't cook much. I only cooked for myself before. I went to the diner to eat a lot.." said Aunt Stormy. She handed Rainbow some oatmeal. They sat down at a tiny dining table. "Mmm Mmm Mmm." hummed Rainbow. Aunt Stormy giggled. "Rainbow? I was wondering.......would you be willing to talk to me about your mother?" asked her Aunt. Rainbow looked up from her food. She stared deep into her eyes. She quickly looked away again."What do you want to know? You would know more than me. You are her sister. I am too young to know a lot about her. All I know is she let me too soon!" cried Rainbow. "Oh. I am sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." said Aunt Stormy.
Over the next half hour, Rainbow and her Aunt talked about her parents. Rainbow told her how her mom died in a crash. Then why her dad left soon after. She said she wished her dad could have stayed and took care of her. Aunt Stormy listened to her niece intently. She felt sorry for her. Watching this little filly cry in front of her was too much. She came over and picked her up and held her in her arms. "Oh Rainbow. It's OK. I'm here now for you. Aunt Stormy will never ever, ever, hurt you in any way." Both of them sat on the kitchen floor, hugging each other as they cried.
