A Dash of Youth

Mommy

Rainbow Dash was really having some strange dreams lately. Some nightmares, and some good dreams. Tonight, she had the strangest dream of all. She dreamed that she was finally potty trained for good, and then, she had breakfast, and then, time skipped to the next scene of her dream. She was flapping her wings like mad and straining as she flew further and higher, Twilight cheering and smiling, crying ever so slightly. Finally she landed gently, and Twilight cheered, and hugged her tightly.

Now, the scene had changed. She was in flight school, racing faster than every other pony. Twilight smiled from the bleachers, this was the big performance of the year, and Rainbow Dash had been chosen for the main part. She dropped down faster than everypony, going faster and faster as her tears flew back. A sonic burst of color shot from her like a bullet, and she was trailed by a bright rainbow. Then, she woke up.

She considered her dream carefully, and noticed some strange things. First of all, she wasn't Rainbow Dash in her dreams, she was Sunny Dreams, with the tangerine hair and the canary yellow coat. Also, Twilight was her mother in all of them, and she wasn't grown up, she was growing up. Did this mean that she was getting used to being Twilight's daughter? Even that she was enjoying it? Maybe it was fun being young, maybe it would be better this way. No, no! She couldn't think like that! She had to escape! But right now, that was definitely the least of her concerned.

She tried to recall what happened before she fell asleep. She had been thirsty, and she had a lot to drink, then later, even more. Then, Twilight let her try some tea, and she loved it, and had lots of that too. Now, she was bursting. It took her a while to realize that her blankets and mattress were already soaked. She must have already drained a bit, but she was only so small.

"Mom! Hurry, hurry!" she called, but Twilight was obviously fast asleep. She moaned and hopped up and down as she tried to hold it in. Before she knew it, she was wetting the bed. Again. But she was positive it wasn't all gone. She had always had a very small bladder as a foal, and she still did now. She sat awake for another hour before she was bursting again. Eventually, she fell asleep, still continuing to wet. When she finally awoke, she sun was slowly rising in the sky. This time, she was empty, and didn't have to wet. She had to do something else, and it wasn't going to happen in the bed.

Twilight groggily trotted in and gagged at the incredibly strong smell of urine. "Sunny! I thought you were trained!" huffed Twilight. Rainbow Dash cowered down, and whimpered. "I'm sorry, but I called you, and you were asleep. Twilight sighed and closed her eyes, lifting Rainbow Dash and carrying her to the potty, where she sat her down while she started the bath and washing machine.


Rainbow Dash used her wings to push herself around in the warm water, but she didn't feel as comfortable as last time. Twilight seemed to be growing tired of her, and she didn't like it. She wanted Twilight to be her mommy, and take care of her. Giving her baths and food and more. She poked her head over the side of the bath, but Twilight wasn't there. She could hear clatter and loud noises coming from her room, so Twilight was probably in there, cleaning out the room so she could get Rainbow Dash out of her house. Tears rolled off her cheeks and mixed with the bathwater. She was clean now.

She pulled the plug and let the bath drain, jumping out and drying herself in the cold towel. She wasn't having fun anymore, not at all. She decided that while Twilight was gone, she would learn to fly. She carefully climbed onto the countertop, which was surprisingly high off the ground. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and powered up her wings, and jumped.


Twilight held a few nails in her teeth as she hammered another plank down. It was finally done. A new extension to the crib. It had an easy access gate for Rainbow in the night, with a potty in it. It was perfect. Just as she stood up, a thud rang out through the house. Twilight's mind raced as she galloped down the stairs, what had happened? Her first thought was that Rainbow had leaped from the counter, for some crazy reason. When she arrived however, the story was not the same as she had feared.

Rainbow Dash was whizzing through the air, the thud had been nothing but a bump into the wall. "Mom! Look at me!" she giggled, flying out the door and up into her room. Twilight chased her, laughing. When they arrived, Rainbow gasped at the new crib.

"Oh mommy, I love it! And my sheets! You washed them!" she hugged Twilight tightly, then dashed off to the kitchen for breakfast.


She happily munched on her new solid food that Twilight had finally allowed her to eat. What she really wanted was a nice juicy plate of hay fries, but grass crackers would have to do. She nibbled contently, Twilight slurping her soup. Nothing could be so relaxing in the morning, it was perfect.

"Mom, NOW can I go to flight camp?" Rainbow pleaded.

"You're still too young, they won't let you in!" Twilight replied, tiredly. She stood up with a sigh and sipped her coffee, smiling very weakly. Rainbow Dash shook in her high chair. "I can use a big seat!" she huffed. "Oh really?" Twilight smirked, placing Rainbow in a big seat where her head couldn't even be seen over the table. They both laughed, until there was a knock on the door. "Thank god you still have your dye on." Twilight sighed in relief as she trotted to the door. When she swung it open, she was shocked to see her friends all standing there.

"Twilight, we need your magic! You need to help us find Rainbow Dash!" Rarity sobbed. The other ponies nodded. Suddenly, to Twilight shock and fears, Rainbow Dash came and stood at her side, and cleared her throat.

"Mommy, are they the ponies from before? I want you to come play and your friends can go home."

The voice that came out of Rainbow Dash wasn't Rainbow Dash. It was high, clear, and cheerful. The other ponies all looked at her. "Fine Twilight, Ah guess we'll be leaving then." Applejack sulked, and Rainbow Dash ran off into the living room. Twilight waved to her friends, then slammed the door and galloped off to find Rainbow Dash.


"Sunny Dreams, that was incredible! Thank you so much!" she cried, trapping her daughter in a super massive hug. Rainbow smiled weakly. What was she supposed to do? Give up her mom? Not likely!
