A lesson of Loyalty.

Meeting Dash

"So who are you exactly. I mean you probably know me." Rainbow grinned, plopped down on the floor and began to take some candy out of her mane; Wait, how'd that get there. Oh Pinkie....

"I'm Lightning Rider. Princess Luna's personal student. She taught me how to fly when I was a abandoned filly." Lightning kinda smiled. I guess she is a bit lonely. It's like I know she has never smiled more than that.

"WELL! Wanna go show me some moves? I don't think a Sonic Rainboom would do well for Canterlot at night...buuuut, I am Celestia's Weapon. i can do whatever I want!" Rainbow began to fly off. Lightning followed her. They flew the night away. Before soon it was morning.

"I really gotta get back to Luna, Rainbow. Wanna meet up again tonight? I promise there won't be anymore manticores in strange houses."

"And I promise no candy in my hair, but i'll bring some along. See you tonight!" Rainbow dashed back towards Ponyville while Lightning flew slowly back to Luna.




Lightning gulped as Luna started to lecture her on going out into the Everfree Forest when she has a perfectly fine bedroom in the castle with a giant balcony.

"I'm sorry Princess, it's just I needed some time alone. I was feeling sorta lonely. "

"It's alright Lightning." Luna enveloped Lightning in a hug. Luna had been like Lightning's adopted mother, she was kind and caring, and she loved Lightning. Celestia was like a big sister, she played with Lightning everyday as a filly, and sometimes they flew together.

Tonight was gonna be great.

Dash flew as fast as she could back to her and Lightning's meeting place. They'd agreed on the old castle. It was a part of Rainbow's memory, so she thought she might share where she gained 5 friends with her new friend. She settled down on a soft spot of moss where she could take a nap. Since there wasn't any clouds, y'know. She jumped when she heard a flapping sound.

"Hi Lightning. How's it going? You tell Luna about us?" Rainbow poked her head out to see the gray pegasus holding a blue satchel.

"Uh..not really. I'd rather not tell her, she'd probably freak." The mares giggled as Lightning pulled out 2 necklaces from the bag.

"I heard somebody talking about this necklace in Canterlot. I love fashion and beauty, but I can't bring myself to pursue it. Anyways, I was talking to Celestia as she is quite the fashion pony too and-" Rainbow cut Lightning off.

"Whoa there. I don't need to know it all!! I will admit Celestia wearing a dress wants to make me burst out into giggles, but anyways." Rainbow leaned against the crumbling wall with Lightning as she began to continue her story.

"So, she said we might get it for my special friend. So here it is!" Lightning pulled out a choker. It was gorgeous. Blue silk made up the whole necklace, and in the center was a rainbow colored lightning bolt. It was so pretty. Rainbow grabbed it and pulled it around her neck.

"I wonder if it's aero-dynamic!"

"Oh it is, I tried it." They both leaned into the wall and sighed.

"I am so tired. Wanna take a nap before we race?"

"Sure." They both fell into deep snores. Unaware that something was watching them.
