"Wakey Wakey, Flare! It's time for school and I and dad should head to the Wonderbolts Headquarters soon!" Rainbow dash shouted, hoping her daughter to wake up at last.
"Umm. . . . yes, mother . . . coming," Rainbowflare mumbled sleepily. Now, Rainbow Flare was a beautiful filly with navy blue mane and tail which had light blue and crimson streaks. Her eyes were magenta and her coat was minty blue.
She got freshened up and headed to the dining room for breakfast where she saw her parents were having cheese sandwiches.
"Good morning mum and dad," she said in a voice that was bearly enthusiastic.
"What's wrong with Miss Flare today?" Soarin asked in a concerned voice.
"Do I need to go to school?" she asked,
"Well, duh! Ofcourse! How do you think I go so good at flying without it? It's important for you, and one day, maybe you'll do a Sonic Rainboom and get your Cutie Mark," grinned Rainbow dash.
"Yes mum, but I don't think I'll make any friends so that I can save them and BAM! Get a Cutie Mark like you or dad!" she blurted it out.
"Now now! Don't degrade yourself, it takes time and you will get one eventually." Soarin assured her, "Well, we're off. Spitfire won't be happy if we show up late." he said and got off his chair then ruffled Rainbowflare's mane,
"Do be a good pegasus! And your nanny will be there for you if need anything," said Rainbowdash as she left with Soarin, leaving her signature rainbow trail along.
"Goodbye . . ." she said and walked back in.
"Miss Flare, are you ready to go? You don't want to be late for your first day now do you?" said Careheart, who was hired for taking care of Rainbowflare and was also the stewardess of the cloud manor.
"Yes, yes. Coming!" she said as she followed Careheart. Rainbowflare was known all over Equestria as the RainbowDash's and Soarin's daughter, especially in Cloudsdale. She was said to be lucky as she had two Wonderbolts as her parents. But as she was still very young, she wasn't able to face the paparazzi and all the attention she was getting. She was all over the magazines and newspapers just after she drew her first breath. Growing up, she got used to it but felt as if the attention she was getting was only because her parents were living legends.
Once they arrived, Careheart bid goodbye and left Rainbowflare all alone. Miss Cheerlie was still the class teacher but was older than she used to be but her cheerfulness never lost its colour. The school at Ponyville was no longer small and had few students but was sophisticated and had more than one teacher teaching. Ponies from all over Equestria used to study here. Flare found a seat in her classroom and settled herself.
"Good morning class! I'm Miss Cheerlie, your teacher for the subject of science. Let's make your first day brighter by introducing yourself to everyone! Hmm . . . Who do we have here? Yes, you young filly!" she said pointing her hoof to Rainbowflare,
"Me?" Flare didn't expect she would be chosen, "Well . . . um . . . My name is RainbowFlare and I'm from Cloudsdale," just after she finished her sentence, she heard her class gasp out of shock, "What?" she managed to say just that until someone with purple mane with blue streaks and was unmistakably spotless white burst out,
"You don't mean you have Wonderbolts as your parents? Wow! I can believe I'm seeing you finally! I need to more about you!"
"Rainbow Dash is your mother?" another one asked.
"Can you do a Sonic Rainboom, like your mum?" a foal squealed,
"Is your father, co-captain of the Wonderbolts?
"Now, that's enough children! Let's not get too carried away. Welcome to the class RainbowFlare. Who's next?" Cheerlie looked at her other pupils intently.
After a long day of school, Rainbow felt relieved and was excited to go back home. She glided in the sky and made her way back. And without even bothering to have her dinner, she jumped on her bed, fast asleep.
"Hey! RainbowFlare! Wait up. . . . So, you are the daughter of Rainbowdash and Soarin? That's cool now, isn't it? By the way, I'm Midnight Glow," she said.
"Nice to meet you. Wow! Am I really that famous?" Flare asked curiously.
"Yes ofcourse! But I knew you when my mother said to me that you were her best friend's daughter," Midnight replied.
"So your mother and mine were friends? Who is your mum anyway?" Flare questioned.
"I'll tell you but promise you won't tell anyone? I'm undercover, you know," she replied.
"I promise," Flare assured her.
"Twilight Sparkle is my mum. . ." she whispered in her ear.
"The Ruler of Equestria!!?" Flare exclaimed.
"Shh! Quite! I'm undercover, remember?" she shushed her new friend.
"Right! Sorry," Flare apologised. Just then, a trio of three mean-looking colts squeezed and pushed through the crowd towards them,
"So, RainbowFlare is it? Heard your parents were Wonderbolts. You should join our gang, it's where the cool ponies are and you should forget being friends with these types of commoners," a pegasus colt who looked like he was the leader of the team said in a superior voice.
"Hey! that's not how to speak to people!" RainbowFlare stood up facing him eye to eye.
"Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it? Race with me? Or are you just a lame-filly?" he challenged.
"It's so on! And by the way, she not a commoner as you think. Better get ready to lose, loser!" she sneered.
"We'll see who's a loser and who's not, later!" he muttered through a clenched jaw.
"Let's start this shall we?" she said as they took their places on a cloud nearby.
"ON YOU MARKS! GET SET! GO!" announced Midnight, holding a rulebook.
Both pegasi zoomed through the sky, Flare was quite enjoying the wind in her mane and the race. . . until the opponent pushed her to the side. But she didn't give up and zoomed through leaving him behind as she neared the finish line, something unexpected happened, there was a cone forming around her and BAM! A Sonic Rainboom! She managed to finally ace it! At that very moment, she realised that she was no less than any other pony. She was going to create a history. She won the race!
"So? How do you like that for pony's sake?" she smirked with pride.
"Let's get outta here," he mumbled under his breath as he left with his cronies.
"You. Were. AMAZING! Did you know you could do it?" Midnight asked her with awe.
"Thanks, sure I did know that! When my mum could do it why not me?" she puffed her chest.
"Am I seeing a cutie mark?" Midnight looked at Flare with eyes as big as saucers.
