"Hey Dumbbell!!!" Crystal yelled out. "Hey Snowie!" Dumbbell said when he got closer. "This is going to be awesome, a whole day of hanging out with my colt friend, Starting a the weather factory!" Crystal said excitedly. "Yeah!" Dumbbell said sarcastically. Crystal chose not ask what that was about. "Lets go!!" Crystal said enthusiastically. At the weather factory Crystal marveled over everything. Mostly the rainbows and snowflakes. They even let her have liquid rainbows to take home and they let her craft a snowflake. (Which is how she got her cutie mark.) When they were on their way to the camp site thy were camping at for the night Dumbbell went into an alleyway. "Hey Snowie in here there's some thing I want to show you!!" He yelled out. Crystal walked into the alleyway and yelled "Dumbbell!!! Where are you!?" She then felt two strong hooves grab her. "What are you doing?!" Crystal cried out. "Getting what I want." Dumbbell told her.

4 months later    

"Mom, Dad can I tell you something?" Crystal asked her parents tentatively. "Sure." Her parents said. "D-dumbbell r-ra-raped me." She told them wincing as if somepony was going to hit her. There was no impact only words. "Get out!" Her father said. "What?" Crystal asked. "He said get out." Her mother said forcibly. "Why?" Crystal asked. "Because whatever you do you bring upon yourself." Her mother and father told her together. "Fine! I'm NEVER coming back!!" She screamed as she flew out the open door.

A week later 

"Hey Crystal Slut!!" Dumbbell called out. He and his group of friends came closer. "Hey Dumbbell mind if i have a turn." His friend Basket Dunker asked. "Sure. Slutie would be happy to do that for you." Crystal shook her head rapidly trying to say no as she flew out of the school. She had flown right to the edge of Cloudsdale. She had enough of this bullshit that was going on. At the moment Cloudsdale was right over the Canterlot mountain and princess Celestia's castle. She jumped off the edge of Cloudsdale hoping to hit the ground and die. That was the day when her friend Sunny Days (Glory's Sun) was on ground patrol it was had been a long time since he had seen Crystal but he would always remember what she looked like. There were best friends after all. When he found her he immediately rushed her to the princess herself. Celestia healed her injuries. They where fatel from jumping off a cloud that high. Celestia knew that her injuries could not heal themselves.


Present time

Crystal suddenly awoke from her sleep. "Why am I reliving those memories." She asked herself. "Soarin is my first colt friend since then. Maybe that's why i'm reliving those memories in my dreams." She told herself. "I really hope Soarin isn't like Dumbbell and his friends." She said to herself.
