// Story: My Little Daddy? 
// by Perry Pinkie Potter

 Your little daughter always,
Your little Dashie forever,
Rainbow Dash 

I close the book and lay my head down, lost in thought.

I had a real dad. My pony dad has died when I was little, but I had another one. What if I could find him? I HAD to find him. 

Suddenly, anger filled me up as it dawned on me. They knew! My friends knew about this and never told me! How could they? Celestia taking me away and Twilight performing that memory spell! They had NO right to do that! 

What if he's still out there? I have to find him!

"Rainbow Dash? Are you alright?"

I look down. Rarity.

"What do you mean? Why would you care?" I reply coldly.

"What? Of course I care, I'm your friend! And I mean, you look as though you've been crying! What happened?"

I'm enraged. "What happened? You all betrayed me, that's what happened!" 

Rarity is shocked and hurt.  Good,  I think bitterly. 

"I don't know WHAT you're talking about, Rainbow Dash, but if I did something, then I'm sorry."

"OH SURE!" I snap. "AND WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU AFTER YOU LIED TO ME!" 

"I- I don't know what you mean... When, when did I lie to you, Rainbow?" She stuttered.

"It wasn't just you! It was everypony!" I told her fiercely.

"Perhaps you should talk to all of us, Rainbow Dash. We could have a meeting, if you think that would help..." 

"Are you-" I stop myself. "Actually, that sounds perfect, Rarity." I tell her calmly.

Rarity looked relived. "Excellent! I'll go call up the others, and-"

"And I can ask why you've all been lying to me!" I finished. "Good!"

Rarity trotted away, looking hurt.

That's what she gets. She deserves it for doing that to me. All of them.



Later, in the castle...

"Rainbow Dash, Rarity told us you were mad at us. Are you okay? What did we do?" Twilight asked cautiously.

"Will all of you stop playing dumb!" I yelled.

Twilight shook her head. "What do you-"

"Does THIS ring a bell?" I showed them all the book.

"The book from yesterday. What about it?" Twilight inquired.

"Read the last chapter and see if it starts up any memories for you!" I told her.

Twilight began reading. And finished.

"Oh Rainbow," She started gently, "You don't honestly believe this is true, do you? Because it's not."

I growled. "LIES!" I shouted, infuriated.

"Dash, it's just a book. It isn't-" 

"Stop lying to me! My dad is out there somewhere, and I'm going to find him! And NONE of you are going to stop me!" I grabbed the book and zoomed off.

I don't know what I was expecting, and apology at least! For them to help me, or give me a good reason for why they did it. But not this!
They kept lying to me! Acting like they didn't know! Even Applejack, Mrs. Honest, wouldn't admit it.
If I had to be loyal to anypony, it would be who was loyal to me. And that was my dad, not my friends. I realized that then. And I was going to find him.

I flew and flew, tears filling my eyes to the point where I had to rely on my other senses to guide me through the woods. I could find a portal or something. I would eventually find myself in the forest from my real home. I would see him sitting by that one tree where we talked. I would finally have him back.

To occupy myself, I try to remember some of my old memories. But for the life of me, I can't. Why did they have to do such a good job! I thought they were my friends! But my whole life had been a lie! And it was all! There! Fault! UGH!

Why wasn't I there yet! This was taking longer than I thought it would.

I realized I would have to stop, and continue tommorow. I hugged the book for comfort, and found myself in a small cave. It was freezing and raining, kind of like when dad and I met at that tree, after our fight.

I smiled to myself as I tried to sleep. I bet when I wake up, he'll be right there next to me, just like in the story. I sighed, turning away from the rain.  I'll see you tommorow, dad.
