~Mare-Do-Well~
A few months later
Lightning Storm woke up with a headache like no other.
"Ugh... What the buck did I drink last night...?" She moaned and rolled over, going to stuff her face in the pillow and ended up stuffing it in rainbow hair.
"What the..?" She grumbled and lifted her head to see a cyan mare.
"O-oh... Right..." lightning storm smiled to herself remembering the events of last night as she brushed Rainbows mane off the pillow and lied her head back down. Rainbow Dash rolled over and wrapped Lightning in a full body hug making Lightning Storm giggle silently and press her nose to the sleeping mares. RD yawned and sleepily opened her violet eyes to find Lightning's sky blue eyes staring at her.
"I wish waking up was always this awesome." Dash smiled and pressed her lips against Lightnings softly. After a couple short moments Lightning storm gently broke the kiss smiling as she brushed rainbows mane out of her violet eyes and kissed the cyan mares nose.
"Come on, it's time to get up. I have weather business in Canterlot and you have paperwork you have to get done today and you also have cloud busting at 10. So, if you want breakfast this morning then I suggest you let go of me and let me ready." Lightning said before Rainbow pulled LS in for one more kiss and released the black mare from her legs as they both got ready.

Dash sat at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and a brand new edition of the "Equestrian Daily" newspaper as Lightning storm tucked her briefcase under if wing and trotted over to RD giving her a small peck on the cheek.
"Don't forget to stop by the ESPS headquarters and pick up your paperwork, ok?" Lightning said as she nuzzled Rainbow's cheek as Rainbow fixed lightnings somewhat crooked suit.
"Good luck Storm. Oh, by the way, Daring Do told me to tell you that you have a scouting mission after you get home. She said you could bring Lowell and me if you wanted to." Rainbow smiled as Lightning chuckled.
"Ok, go tell Lowell that he can come if he wants, bye Dashie." Lightning waved as she walked out and flew off towards Canterlot.

A small sigh came from Lightning Storm as she trotted down the tile halls toward the filing room.
"Damn... Why does every pony have to be in such a bad mood today... First the traffic in cloudsdaile is backed up for miles... Then the weather company goes crazy on me for being a minute late... Heck.. Even Shining Sun was in a grumpy mood... I hope Dash is done her paperwork... Daring seemed to be in on the bad mood too and I'd hate to see her get mad at Dash.." Lightning Storm mumbled to herself as she paused for a second and twisted a purple bracelet on her left hoof, making it transform around her into her Mare-Do-Well outfit as she cantered into the filing room. As she turned a few corners she expected to see Rainbow Dash standing there sorting her paperwork but instead she saw a brown earth pony burning files. She quickly dived behind the corner again and looked around for RD. As she looked for her the mare started to laugh and turn towards a wall that LS couldn't quite see.
"So Rainbow Dash, you were saying that some pony was going to come and kick my flank? Well, I don't see any pony, and all I know is you know about me. So how about we get rid of you and throw your body were no pony will ever find it." The mare snorted and turned around to pick up a knife with her mouth. Lightning couldn't take watching this anymore as she sprung from behind the corner and jammed her right hoof into the earth ponies eye.
"You stay away from her!" Lightning shouted the voice modcule in her MDW outfit made her sound like a demonic robot. It was then Lightning remembered that the earth pony had been that new quite recruit, Brightie. Brightie stumbled back and put a hoof to her eye as Lightning spun around to see Rainbow Dash, who was beaten bloody and tied up. Lightning quickly slid out a hidden blade from the sleeve in her MDW outfit an cut away at the rope.
"L-lightning..?" Rainbow moaned as Lightning threw her mask off and tightly hugged her, soon realizing tears were flowing down Dashes face and she softly ran her hoof over RD's rainbow mane.
"Sh... Don't speak... It's going to be alright... I promise.." Lightning storm softly kissed Dashes temple and got up to face Brightie. Something changed in LS's eyes, there original sky blue colour now had a menacing, dark blue, icy tone to them as gritted her teeth.
"I'm going to make you bucking regret you were ever bucking born!" Lightning Storm shouted and drove her hoof into Brightie's nose, hearing a disgusting cracking noise. Brightie quickly stumbled and and held her blood-gushing nose in pain as Lightning turned around and bucked Brightie in the face, knocking her out cold. The brown mare fell down with a thump as Lightning quickly picked up Dash and gently rested the cyan mare onto LS's back at her galloped out of the filing room. She ran through the halls and quickly kicked the door to the medic's office, breathing heavily. The ponies working there quickly took Dash and went straight to work.
After a couple hours of waiting, Daring Do opened the door in the waiting to see Lightning Storm in her MDW outfit without the mask on. A surprised gasp came from the black mares boss as Daring trotted over.
"A-agent shad-" Daring had start but Lightning put up her hoof to silence her.
"Don't say the name, please." LS turned away as Daring sat down next to her.
"Is.. Dash.. Alright?" Daring asked her tone going softer than usual. Just as she had said that a nurse had come out.
"Excuse me, Ms. Well, but Ms. Dash has requested your presence." The nurse said as Lightning nodded softly and cantered after the nurse. As she entered the room she saw the mare she loved hooked up to a couple machines.
"Dashie..?" Lightning whispered as she trotted over to Dash and the cyan mare weakly smiled at her.
"4 broken ribs, my hind left hind leg is shattered, and I can forget about flying for 3 weeks. But once everything heals I'll be good as new." Rainbow gave a light laugh and Lightning bent down and hugged her.
"I was so worried... I thought she killed you..." Lightning said shoving her face into Rainbows mane as Dash stroke LS's mane lightly.
"I thought you died a year ago Lightning." A voice sounded from behind her. Lightning quickly let go of Dash and turned around to face Daring Do. LS sighed and looked at her hooves.
"I... I didn't want to be an agent anymore, ok? I was sick an tired of it. So I faked the death and ran off to live in the Everfree forest. It worked until I heard a rumour that my best friend had died... I felt like I had to come back and help... But... I didn't want any pony recognizing me... So I made a Mare-Do-Well outfit and... Here we are today."
"I see. If you want to carry on your services as Mare-Do-Well you may. As for you Dash, I hope you get better soon." Daring said before trotting off. As the two mares talked silently they both eventually drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
