//------------------------------// // The Diary Entry of Rainbow Dash the Fabulous // Story: Rainbow Dash Always Dresses in Style // by ZeroChill //------------------------------// Aunt Rainbow Dash looked out of a window of the brick red cargo express that headed towards the Equestrian Outpost. The dark blue blanket of night had already set across the skies of the land transitioning with her very eyes. Aunt Rainbow Dash sighed contently. Around her were various packaged goods and piles of various fruits, vegetables and other plants. She opened her tote and pulled out a brown, metallic-framed lantern. She twisted a small knob on it. A small, orange flame ignited from within the glass sphere of the lantern. Aunt Rainbow Dash also pulled out a brown, thick book with a rough, iron lock on it. The color of the pages was of a coffee-stained color from the passage of time. She grabbed an iron key from the tote with her mouth and placed the teeth of the key within the lock. The inner mechanisms of the lock turned and twisted, which caused it to be undone. Aunt Rainbow Dash flipped through the pages of the books until a blank page was found. On the page before the blank page was a photo of Aunt Rainbow Dash, a dark purple-coated unicorn stallion with brilliant red eyes and thick dark purple mane and tail that ended with splashes of white color, and a younger but still adulated indigo-coated pegasus stallion with a thick rainbow mane and tail that ended in splashes of white colors. His eyes were a deep purple. The three ponies all smiled as they stood proudly on top of the corpse of a dead, green dragon. Aunt Rainbow Dash held a viciously-curved platinum-colored blade with a deep blue hilt, the unicorn carried a green crossbow with complex features on the bow, and the pegasus carried a green-tipped metal spear encased in a blue grip. “Well, I’m glad that I got the chance to visit some extended family, but now I got to get back to my family.” As she said this, she grabbed a blue plume from within the pages of the book and began to write on the blank page. Dear Diary, Today turned out to be very good. I finally got to see my darling niece Rainbow Dash after all these years. I think that the best part about seeing her was that we opened up with each other in a way that we haven’t gotten the chance to do! There are also other many positives from this trip. For example, I got to meet her darling friend and fashionista Rarity who was such a wonderful treat to know. She was so kind to offer me a place to stay and chat, and that spot of tea she made was quite delicious! Regardless, since she was a close friend of Rainbow Dash’s, I decided to give her the hat and boa that Rainbow Dash made all those years ago. As for Rainbow Dash herself, I gave her that vest that I spent the last week making. While she did ask me about how I knew her size and I said that it was my intuition, I actually didn’t tell the whole truth to her. When I received a newspaper about the news that Rainbow Dash’s qualifications, she was caught in several photographs that were printed in the paper. Simply put, I scaled her size with other ponies that she was around and measured the vest onto those approximations. It turns out that I made the right measurements for her all along! Anyways, I’ve invited Rainbow Dash and her friends over to the Equestrian Outpost. I know that Rainbow Dash will tell her friends about it, and I know that they will come one day. However, those darlings better be ready to learn how to take down monsters and work hard. I’m sure that my husband, Vitriolic Shot, will love to see his niece for the first time and Typhoon Clap would absolutely enjoy meeting his cousin and her friends. In fact, I’m kind of hoping that one of Rainbow Dash’s friends will steal Typhoon Clap’s heart. Though I love the darling, I believe that he is old enough to set a path of his own now, and I’m willing to bet that Rainbow Dash’s visit will set him on that path. Well, I’m still in the fragrant cart of the cargo train again. I don’t mind at all, since cargo trains are the only kind of trains that go into the Equestrian Outpost. Besides, it gives me a pleasant smell to be able to sleep with. Well diary, I’ve had you for a very long time now. It is time for me to go to sleep on this peaceful night as the train rocks me gently. Rainbow Dash the Fabulous Aunt Rainbow Dash put her diary into her tote and blew out the lantern. From her tote, she pulled out a white, fluffy pillow. She nested her head on it and curled her body as she let the realm of night whisk her away into a sleep.
