Rainbow Danger Miriam Dash was the fastest, coolest and all around most awesome Pegasus in all of Cloudsdale even if she was only six years old. According to her parents and relatives she was also the cutest. But Rainbow Dash refused to listen to such slander. She was not cute! She was awesome and cool! That's what she told anypony that would listen anyway. And one day, she was going to join the Wonderbolts. Well, she was actually going to figure out how to do the Filly Flash technique, perfect it, then she would try to get into the Wonderbolts. Despite her rather young age she was sure they would take her. After all, both of her parents were former Wonderbolts. They lived in a large house sculpted from clouds with two waterfalls of pure rainbow coming down the sides and flowing into a pool. Her dad, Rainbow Blaze, was a teacher and her mom, Firefly, stayed home with her. They had met when they were in the Wonderbolts and had been partners throughout their career. All throughout the house were glittering trophies that commemorated her parents' triumphs and victories.  Most of the trophies were kept in a single room, but they had a lot of them and many were used to decorate the house.

Rainbow Dash had grown up surrounded by evidence of her parent's glory days as famous athletes. She had vowed that one day she too would be a great athlete. So, every single day she practiced. After eating her breakfast she'd go outside and do all the exercises her parents had taught her. After finishing up her crunches and push-ups she would do flight techniques. Her flying ended with her crashing hard into the clouds more times than she would like to admit, but she knew that she was getting better every time she practiced. Yesterday she had managed to do a barrel roll without crashing! Her parents had been so proud that they had let her have an extra chocolate chip cookie for dessert.

Today, she had been planning on practicing barrel rolls again. Unfortunately, it was raining. One would think that living in a city made of clouds would prevent one from having rainy days, but excess precipitation and moisture would occasionally build up and have to be released as a storm. This storm must have been building up for a long time. Howling winds rushed through the air, tearing at the clouds that built up the city. Hard rain pelted the buildings. Though the rain was absorbed into the clouds it was not a day that anypony was going to go out in. Dash knew very little about weather or precipitation. All she knew was that it was raining and her mother wasn't going to let her out to practice.

It had been raining since her mother had woken her up. She had groaned when she'd heard the drops of rain striking her windows. Her mother had told her that rain was important, that it helped the ground ponies grow their crops. Dash told her that she didn't particularly care about the ground ponies. To cheer her up her mother had made her pancakes. While Dash loved her mother's pancakes even those weren't enough to break her out of her funk. She just stabbed at the meal and moved them around in the syrup. The pancakes were good and she couldn't help but enjoy them. After breakfast Firefly had washed the dishes and made Dash dry them. While Dash would have normally zoomed outside to avoid the chore, it was at least something to do on this rainy Saturday. Dash groaned after staring out a window. It was still raining.

"Mama, can I please go outside?"

Firefly looked out the window. "You can, the question is should you?"

Dash bit her lip. She almost ran out the door, but the last time she'd played in the rain (against her mother explicitly forbidding it) she'd gotten a cold and hadn't been able to go to Wind Whistler's birthday party. Dash slumped to the ground.

"Nah."

"You have your dolls to play with."

"THEY'RE ACTION FIGURES!"

"Alright, alright. You have your action figures to play with."

Dash jumped up as an idea came to her. "Hey! Maybe I could practice in here!"

Firefly frowned. "You know the rule, Kiddo. No flying fast inside."

"Oh come on! I promise not to break anything!"

"No flying fast inside."

"But-"

"No flying fast inside, you could hurt yourself."

"No I-"

"What did Mama say?"

Dash groaned. She got the feeling she'd be doing that a lot today. "No flying fast inside."

"There's a good filly." Firefly said patting her head.

Dash mumbled something unkind and rushed up to her room. Even if she couldn't fly inside, she could at least play with her action figures.  She had the full line of Wonderbolts dolls. She picked up one of her plushies and began to run around the room with it. Then she picked up a second one and began running with that one. Getting bored she launched into the air and began flying circles around her bed, holding both dolls. She was going at a slow speed, but began to pick up as she flew more and more. Feeling a little dizzy from flying around in circles she sat down on her bed. For several minutes she just moved the dolls around. Then, she set the dolls down and sank down into the bed. She was bored. The rain hadn't let up. In fact, it sounded like it was raining harder. At this point, she'd even be thankful for some chores to do. 

'Maybe I'll look back at some of my old comic books.' She hopped from the bed, opened her closet and pulled out her comic book collection. She pulled out an issue of Supermare and flipped through it. For a while, she got absorbed in the fight between Supermare and the Brayniac. She finished the comic and picked up another issue of Supermare. After reading through the entire comic collection she was still bored. She wanted to spread her wings and fly. And she could as long as she did it slowly. No Filly Flashes or Sonic Struts in the house. She'd tried to explain to her mother that slow flying was boring, but her mother just wouldn't listen.  She trotted from her bedroom and down to the living room. Her mother was in the kitchen. Surely, she wouldn't notice if Dash just did a barrel roll or two. Or five. Spreading her wings the filly launched into the air. She angled her wings and zoomed forward. Continuing to angle her wings she banked a hard right and then flew around the room. She flew towards the ceiling and then down towards the floor. Just before she crashed into the floor, she sharply shot up again and turned to the left. That's when something went wrong. Dash cried out as she realized she had gone too fast too quickly. 

"Dashie! What's-"

Her mother called out as Dash flew head first towards a table. She flared her wings and turned at the last second, narrowly avoiding a crash. Her wing still brushed against a trophy sitting on the table causing it to hit the ground. Dash sprawled on the floor and half-a-second later was in her mother's forelegs.

"Dash? Dash, you okay?"

"I think so." Other fillies would cry after that. but not Rainbow Dash. She just sniffled a bit.

Firefly placed Dash in her lap and wrapped a wing around her. Then she lowered her mouth and began smoothing out the feather's on Dash's wing that had been knocked out of place. As Firefly preened her Dash felt herself growing relaxed. She knew she was in trouble, but couldn't bring herself to worry about it. After Firefly put the last feather back in place she placed Dash on the floor. Then she put the trophy back on the table.

"Dash, go to your room. I'll be up there to spank you in a minute." Firefly said.

Dash gulped. She had never been spanked before! Other fillies and colts got spanked, but it had never happened to her.

"Mama, I'm sorry."

"I know you are. Go to your room."

Dash hung her head and headed back to her room. When she got there she laid down on the bed and grabbed a plushie. She held it close. Her mother had never been so angry at her that she'd spanked her. Dash wondered how much it was going to hurt.

'That trophy must mean a lot to her. Well, if I had a trophy and some brat knocked it over I'd be mad too.'

She held the plushie closer as she heard approaching hoofsteps. Firefly opened the door, sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. Dash stayed where she was.

"Do you know why you're in trouble?" Firefly asked.

Dash nodded. "Because I knocked over your trophy."

A look of surprise washed over Firefly's face. "What? No, not at all! I wouldn't spank you for something like that!" 

She picked Dash up and sat her in her lap. "I'm spanking you because you could have gotten hurt. What if you'd hit the table? At the speed you were going it'd have given you a concussion. I know you don't know what that is, but it means it'd hurt you very badly." Her voice softened. "If you'd gotten hurt, me and your father would have been very sad. You're more precious  to us than any trophy. Do you understand?"

Dash felt an uncomfortable sensation in her stomach. She didn't like the idea of making her parents sad. In fact, she hated the idea more than the idea of being spanked.

"I just hope a sore rear end will help you remember to follow the rules next time." Firefly continued. "Are you ready? We could wait until tonight."

"No. I want to get it over with."

"Okay, my brave little Dashie."

She picked Dash up and laid her across her right knee so that her bum was sticking up, raised her hoof and internally debated how hard the first spank should be. It had to be enough to hurt and get the message across. She landed a firm spank to Dash's rump then lifted her hoof again and gave two more quick spanks, one on both sides of Dash's rear. Dash kicked her legs and yelped as the fourth and fifth spanks left an uncomfortable sting in her backside.

"Last one Dashie."

She landed a hard spank in the center of her sit spot. Dash yelped.

"Ow! I promise not to do it again Mama!"

"You'd better not." Firefly said, picking Dash up and wrapping her in the embrace of her wings. Dash nestled into the feathery comfort. Firefly held her for a long time, letting her know she was loved and forgiven. Dash kept her promise up until several years later on another rainy Saturday when she decided to do a sonic rainboom in her room and gotten taken over her mama's knee for the second time.
