To call Rainbow Dash brave would be an understatement.
Her day job as a Wonderbolt made her perform daring tricks, pushing her body to its max and sometimes beyond. You had to be brave in order to perform the tricks she and the other bolts could do.
She was also a bearer of the Elemental of Loyalty, and had stared down many threats to Equestria without even flinching. Nightmare Moon, Discord, the changeling queen, King Sombra and more. Not ever did she back down.
So it made complete and utter sense for her to be found pacing anxiously to and through in the living room of her wife’s house. The orange mare relaxed on the couch, watching with some amusement. However, as she didn’t want the floor to be worn away, she called out.
“Come and join me.” The pegasi would normally shoot over to join the mare on the couch, enjoying snuggling or kissing with her. This time, she hesitated before slowly walking over to the earth pony and climbing onto the couch with her. A pair of hooves soon wrapped themselves around her as her mane was nuzzled.
“Ya worrying over nothing ya know.”
“I know, I know.” Rainbow Dash mumbled, looking away. “I know all of the reasons why I shouldn’t be afraid. But there’s so many reasons that it can go horribly.”
“They always say ta first day is ta worst.”
“That to reassure the children.”
“Still works.”
“... I guess it does.”
“Besides, our kids have just gone to school.”
