//------------------------------// // School // Story: A Dash of Youth // by Everfree23 //------------------------------// Rainbow growled at her foes, and they just gave her an evil sort of look. "Leave me alone, you bullies!" she cried, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. The crowd was taken aback. Diamond Tiara winced. "No way, blank flank! Get yourself a cutie mark, but until you do that, just leave!" she shouted in Rainbow's face, shoving her back down into the mud. The crowd burst into laughter, and Rainbow Dash began to cry. This just made the evil pair laugh harder. Tears dripped off of Rainbow's face and into the mud puddle. This isn't how she remembered school being. It didn't make any sense to her. Bullies never existed when she was younger in her old school, but suddenly they now they do? And they target her? That didn't seem very fair to Rainbow, not at all! She flew up into the sky and dove into a cloud to wash herself off. She was just about finished when the bell chimed, signaling the start of class. She hung her head low as she swooped into the classroom. The class seemed to go on for eternity, and finally, it was recess. As she wearily flapped outside, something strange happened. Her legs started aching like mad. The pain quickly rose until the pain in her body was unbearable. She dove into the bushes to hide while she figured out the problem. Then, the pain exploded again. She whined loudly as her agony cries were muffled by pain. Her limbs stretched, her body grew, and before she even had time to scream, she was a teenager. Her pale orange hair flew back in a ponytail. Yes, this story is over. But it's also NOT over. There will be a sequel coming out when I feel like it, and yes, Rarity is now a baby.
