Raising dashie

by Anakastories


the beggining, age 4 months

It was about eight at night. Princess Celestia was walking around her throne room when she heard a knock on the door . She opened the castile door, and looked around. Their was nothing. But then she looked down and saw a basket. She walked forward to the basket to see what was inside. When she arrived in front of the basket she moved her head closer to see what was inside. It was foal, a baby blue foal! The foal was a Pegasus with a rainbow mane. But she had a note attached to her. Celestia used her magic to pick up the note and read it.


My name is Rainbow Dash. Please find me a good home.

Celestia read the note and put it in the basket. " This will have to wait till morning. " Celestia mumbled to herself while picking up the basket with her magic and walking back inside the castle. When Celestia walked back inside the castle Luna was already inside waiting for her.

" Where were you? " Luna asked

" I heard a knock on the door and went outside. " Celetsia answered

" What's in the basket? "

" A foal " Celestia said as she used her magic to give the not to Luna. " Read this "

Luna used her magic to take the note and began to read it. She looked up from the note and looked at her sister. " What are we going to do with it?"

" In the morning we'll have the guards pass out fliers. "

" What are we going to do with it in till then? "

Celestia yawned "You will watch the baby till morning. After all you are the one who stays up at night. "

" True. "

Celestia used her magic to hand the basket over to Luna. Luna took the basket with her magic and Celestia went to her room to rest. Luna did not know what to do while the foal was sleeping. Was she to watch it while it slept or walk around the room in till it woke up? Luna decided to watch the foal while it slept so she knew when it woke up. Luna heard a yawn from the foal. Luna picked up the foal with her magic to bring her into her hooves. Luna saw that the foal had opened her eyes and was now awake. The foal looked around the room as if their was something there. Luna looked at the note on the note on the floor and read it again. " I'm not so sure that your name is really Rainbow dash." Luna mumbled to herself. Luna looked back at the foal who was now asleep. Luna used a spell that would tell her what the foal's age, name, gender, and what type the pony was. Luna listened to the words being read in her head about the foal. Age: four months, gender: mare, type: Pegasus. But their was one more thing she heard. Bearer of element of Loyalty. What? This could not be right it just could'nt be. Luna Could not believe what she had just herd. Was this really true was this foal the next Bearer of the element of Loyalty? Thinking about this made Luna fall asleep with the foal in her hooves.

Celestia yawned as she walked out of her room to the throne room to check on Luna. Celestia gasped as she saw her younger sister sleeping in the middle of the throne room, with the foal in her hooves. " Luna?! " Celestia said in surprise.

" Huh? What?! " Luna said in surprise. " Oh good morning sister. " Luna said as she yawned.

" Have you been up all night? Oh that doesn't matter, how's the foal? " Celestia asked.

" She's fine. Oh um big sister? "

" Yes? "

" Will you please cast the identity spell on this young foal? "

" Sure, how come? "

" Theirs something I want you to hear."

Celestia cast the identity spell and listened very well. But she also heard what Luna had heard. " Luna do you know what this means? " Celestia asked " This foal is very special."

" Dose that me-" Luna said to be cut off

" Yes Luna, we will raise this foal as our little sister. "

Luna smiled and hugged her older sister with the foal in her hooves. Luna let to of the hug and took a step back. " Sister, do you even know how to take care of a foal? And dose this mean that the fliers is off the hook? " Luna asked her sister

" Yes Luna the fliers is off the hook. And Luna how else did you think I took care of you when mom rose the sun, and dad rose the moon. "

" I guess that makes sense. " Luna said while putting a hoof to her chin and went into a long thought. " When are we going to get the stuff to take care of her? " Luna asked

" Do you remember when I used to have the daycare a few years ago? "

" Yes. "

" I still have all the stuff from that. "

" So were already prepared? "

" Yes. I'll go get the supplies right now. Oh and Luna. "

" Yes? "

" Will you please take the foal to that extra room next ours? "

" Sure. Should I ask the guards to give a letter to the home decorating shop to paint the walls a cyan? "

" That would be wonderful if we could have the walls painted! "

Luna wrote a note with her magic. She put the foal in the basket and went outside and asked a guard if he could give the home decorater pony her note. The guard accepted the request and ran off. Luna walked back inside to pick up the foal and took her to her new room.
