//------------------------------// // Lets Talk // Story: My Big Sister Lightning Dust // by BronySis //------------------------------// "Another Thunder Storm," Lightning Dust demanded to the bartender. He simply shook his head. This was her forth drink, and these were not safe if consumed to much, which is why they didn't sell it in stores. The bar was very empty due to the fact not many pony's in Ponyville are either up this late, or dont drink. Only about three stallions, a bartender, and a mare are in the tiny bar. The bartender brought over the drink and said. "Thats your last one," Lightning shook her head and started drinking. "I haven't seen you in a while, where have you been. I mean you use to come in here all the time" the mare which he was talking to looked up to him and explained. "I was trying to not let my little liking not affect those I love. But now," Lightning eyes watered a little bit, she raised her right hoof to drink out of the mug. "I dont think she will ever want to talk to me again." The bartender looked sympathetically at the mare. "I am sorry, but if you dont mind me asking, why did you start drinking in the first place?" Lightning looked up from her empty glass and said. "I was curious on what my mother threw her life out for, now get me another Thunder." At this time a sky blue pegasus mare with a rainbow mane and tail walked in. "I can't you have had the limit." Lightning got a look of pure anger. "Yeah, like Tarturus I have. Get me another one, Now!" The sky blue mare trotted up to the obviously drunk turquoise pegasus. "Hey I think you have had enough." Lightning Dust ears perked, she recalled that voice. Its the voice that crushed her dreams, and hurt her relationship with the only pony that ever bothered. Lightning turned to the pony behind her and growled. "Rainbow Dash," Rainbow Dash replied with a simple. "Look we need to," But before the rainbow maned pegasus could finish. Lightning Dust flew at full speed for Rainbow Dash and successfully punched her across the face. Rainbowdash went to the floor, the sky blue mare looked up and rubbed her jaw with her hoof. The bartender ran to the back. "Shut up," Lightning growled. Rainbow Dash looked up to the enraged and drunk mare in shock. "You are going to leave, I do not want a mare like you here." Lightning stood above Rainbow Dash. "You have to let me," yet again she was stopped but this time Rainbow Dash dodged the hit. "What," Lightning chuckled a bit then continued. "You a coward, come on wheres the courageous pegasus who wasn't afraid to hurt me?" Rainbow Dash did not back down she hit Lightning across the face. Lightning flew back and she rubbed her jaw. The two started going at it, punching and flying into eachother. The stallions in the bar ran out and onto the street. Lightning was yelling at the top of her voice. "I hate you! Why couldn't you leave me alone! I could have been happy!" This continued until Rainbowdash pinned Lightning Dust to the ground. "I want to talk to you eye to eye." Lightning raised a eyebrow at this statement. Then she started bursting out laughing. Now Rainbow Dash's eyebrow was raised and she asked. "Whats so funny?" Lighting still chuckling replied with. "Scoots told you are sob story, right?" Lightning burst out laughing like a hyena. "If so I am disappointed in you, you should be with Scootaloo. Not me I don't need your sympathy." She gave a small hick before continuing. "But your sister needs you. So its a shame you come to a pony you hate oh so very much," Rainbow Dash processed what she said and gave a smile and said. "She does but, Scootaloo told me to check on you. For a filly she is smart." Lightning stopped laughing and asked with a grin across her face. "What did she say? See if my sister is being a donkey?" Rainbow Dash shook her head and told Lightning. "She said, I know my sister was a jerk but she is my sister, which means shes your sister, Rainbow. She has been through a lot, so go check on her." Rainbow looked down at her and got off Lightning and continued. "Here you are drunk off your flank. I know it hurts but better now than later, besides you should have told her." Lighting punched Rainbowdash across. "You sure as Tarturus don't know me. You don't know why I didn't tell her. I had my reasoning. You have no right to judge me and you sure are not my sister." Lightning trotted to the door but was meet with two police mares the mare to the right with a coco colored mane told Lightning. "Hoofs up, do not attempt to struggle, Anything you say can and will be used against you in court." Lighting in her clouded state thought nothing could happen to her because her position. And she thought she was above them. So she did her best to put her hoof up. The police mare quickly hoof cuffed the turquoise pegasus to her front right and back right hoof, and the other police mare with Rainbow Dash the two police mares walked the beat up pegasus to the police carriage and threw the two in the back. "Now be good, and dont beat eachother up," The two police mares walked away to the bar. Rainbow looks at her cuffs and that the cuffs are cuffed to the seat as well as Lighting Dust cuffs. Rainbowdash then looks to the mare curled up on the floor. "She hates me doesn't she?" Rainbowdash's ears perked up and she looked down to the cuffed pegasus. Lightning Dust gave a small chuckle. "I wouldn't blame her, I am a awful pony to have as a big sister. I try so hard to be the best for her, I have to have the best for some pony like her. She deserves the best, I can't do that. She hates me right?" At this point Lightning wasn't cry tears of anger or frustration, but of sadness. Rainbowdash put her available hoof on Lightning Dust back and tried to comfort her. "You can't be the best twenty-four-seven, its just a fact. You can be vulnerable, and you can be wrong. That can teach others around you that its OK once in a while to be weak and wrong. I helps you learn, and I know this is really sappy and it sounds like something Fluttershy might say. But its Applejack honest truth." Lighting raised her head and flash a smile at Rainbowdash. Then without and warning Lightning vomited on the floor of the cart. Rainbow looked down in horror and asked in a urgent tone. "How many drink did you have?!" Lightning got done and said. "I dont know..... four or fiur," her words were slurred and then she continued to throw up. Rainbow Dash with what little room available she flew over to Lighting Dust and brought her up to the seat. "You know what Dash you would be a pretty good sister to Scoots." Rainbow Dash tried to comfort the distraught Lightning Dust. With that she replied with. "That means I would be your sister to." Lightning Looked the rainbow maned pegasus in the eyes and said. "Give us some time and.... sure." Lightning rested her head on the oddly comfortable seat as she slowly lost consciousness. Rainbow Dash quickly flew up to Lightning listening for her breaths. She was breathing normally, Rainbow Dash sighed in relief and sat next to the passed out mare and said. "Time.. I can dig that." With that the two were silent until the two got to the police station. "ugh one of them threw up, Hey Lucky get the intern in here and get him to clean this up."The two pegasus were outside the police station Lightning was still passed out and Rainbow was sitting there contemplating the situation. One of her best friends is the princess, she could ask Twilight to get her and Lightning out of the conundrum. Yes that could work. The same police mare that hollered for the intern talked to the two pegasus. "Alright out, bring the passed out pegasus." With her magic the police mare undid cuffs. And with that Rainbowdash grabbed the unconscious mare and followed the police mare.
