Rainbow Blaze looked up from his sports magazine and at the clock. He couldn't help but chuckle. His daughter was sleeping in again. The man was remembered of his own childhood. He and his daughter were quite alike in a lot of ways and he didn't just mean the looks. He too used to sleep in a lot. Actually, if it wouldn't be for his wife Rainbowshine, he still wouldn't be able to get up in the morning.
Another thing the father and daughter had in common was their love for sport. Every Saturday, the two would sit down on the couch and watch the sports channel. Sometimes instead of watching sports, they would still up to this day play soccer against each other.
After another minute of waiting, Rainbow Blaze put the magazine away and decided to try something out his own father used on him, when he slept in. And incidentally, his wife used it as well.
He slowly opened the door to use daughter's bedroom, in order to not wake her up. She had the blankets thrown over her entire body and was snoring soundly. Grinning like a little boy, Rainbow Blaze sneaked up to the bed. He silently cursed, when his foot hit something on the ground, but luckily his daughter didn't wake up. Looking down, he found his Rainbow Dash's alarm clock. Or at least what was left of it.
With a raised eyebrow, the father continued his quest, until he arrived at the edge of the bed. He got into position, readied his arms and...
"WAKE UUUUUPPPPP!" he shouted, while literally throwing his daughter off the bed.
"Wha-OW!! What the hell!?!?" came the muffled scream.
Rainbow Blaze accidentally threw the blanket with his daughter to the ground. She was still covered by the thing.
"Rise and shine, Dash. Or else you're gonna be late at school again."
Rainbow Dash groaned in response and started shuffling under her covers. Rainbow Blaze in the meantime turned on the lights, in order to further "help" the girl to fully wake up. However, when he did, he noticed that the pile on the ground was pretty small. It didn't quite look like that there was a teenage girl under the cover. In fact, as soon as the cover was removed, it didn't reveal a grumpy girl, but rather a grumpy horse. With wings!
"What the fuck?!" Rainbow Blaze exclaimed, looking down at the blue horse. Not only did this thing had the same skin or rather fur color like his daughter, but its eyes were as huge as the ones of a human. Plus, they were the same color as his daughter's. Not to mention the mane and tail!
"Jeez, you're really loud today Dad."
And apparently the horse had her voice too.
"R-Rainbow Dash?"
"Who else? What are you-? Hey, wait a minute! I could have easily slept for another twenty minutes!" Rainbow flew up to her clock, at the wall. "Why'd you wake me so early? You know I can easily fly to school!"
Rainbow flew in front of her father and showed her wings to him.
"W-what the...?! Rainbow Dash! You're a horse!!"
"Pony." Rainbow corrected automatically, before she blinked at the exclamation. "Why are you acting so surprised? I am your daughter after all."
"W-what?!"
Rainbow Blaze couldn't belief what he was hearing. Screw that, he couldn't belief what he was seeing! A horse...pony-pegasus thing with a butt tattoo!
"Am I drunk?"
"Drunk?" Rainbow cocked her head.
Then all of the sudden her expression changed to one of...understanding?
"Oh, I get it. Seriously Dad? You were never good at pranking others. Heck, half the time no one but you understands what you're doing."
"W-whu?"
Rainbow Dash frowned. It seemed like her dad was not trying to prank her. He seemed genuinely confused. That reminded her that he had been drinking quite a lot last evening.
"I think you should go a little easy on the booze, you know. Remember last year? When you hit the eggs with the frying pan and then fried them on the bare stove?"
Rainbow Blaze did indeed remember that day. It included actually much more, like his wife hanging down from a ceiling, a rope wrapped around her leg. Ah, that had been some good booze. Did he overdid it once again and was hallucinating?
"Maybe I really need to lay off..." he muttered.
Rainbow Dash got closer to her father's face, causing the latter to take a step back and sniffed the air.
"Well, I don't smell anything, so you're good to drive to work. But seriously, you don't want mom to throw another fit do you?"
Rainbow Blaze just nodded at what he assumed to be his hallucination. Possible dream figure.
"Alright? Anyway, I'm gonna nap for a little longer. And you better get some coffee or whatever." The pegasus forcefully pushed her father out of her room and shut the door.
Dumbstruck, Rainbow Blaze wasn't sure if the past 3 minutes really happened or if he really drank too much yesterday.
I mean, my daughter? A winged horse? I think my imagination is right. I really should lay off the booze.
With that in mind, Rainbow Blaze went back into the kitchen, in order to get himself some ice water against the hangover he thought he had. Why he didn't have any headaches, who knows? A headache less hangover was still more possible, than having a pony daughter.
20 minutes later, Rainbow Blaze dared to go to his daughter's bedroom again. She only could make it in time to school now, if he would give her a ride in his car. However, before he even reached the door it slammed open and revealed a cyan blur flying at top speeds towards the kitchen.
Spinning around, Blaze found the pegasus from earlier opening the window.
"Hey dad, gotta jet, gonna have breakfast at Sugercube's, see ya later!"
And with that the pegasus flew out of the window, leaving a rainbow trail behind her.
Like any rational person, Blaze convinced himself that his daughter for once went to school early and that he really had way too much booze the day before.
I want to see more. This is hilarious.
It needs more!
6722293 And I need something that stops those ideas from popping up.
6722473 Update more often. It's annoying when YOU HAVE SO MANY GOOD STORIES AND HARDLY UPDATE!
6722477 Still looking for a job. It's hard finding a decent job in Germany, when you have good grades in biology, chemistry and physics, but there's nothing available on the job market. So, I have to settle with a bureau job, but my grades aren't the best for this kind of job. I'll probably end up in a supermarket if this goes on.
6722483 Have you tried investing on the side?
6722516 Two part-time jobs. Keeps me occupied, until I find a schooling. No, this is no translation error, during the first years on the job, in Germany you go to a so called "job-school" on certain days and on others, you do the actual job. This goes on from 2 to 4 years, complete with midterms and finals. Then you have been officially "schooled" and you can get the job you just got schooled in. That's what people do, who don't visit the university, like me.
6722523 You should do that and invest on the side. It's what I plan to do.
6722532 I try, but here's the catch. The companies need to hire me! I give them my paperwork, they look over it and if I'm lucky I go to a test. If I pass, I go to a meeting, where I talk with my future boss. And here's where I fail lately. The tests aren't a problem anymore, but I don't have much experience with talking to higher ups. Not to mention half the time I send something to a company, I get a simple "no" and that's that. Most companies lose money, when they hire someone like me. They try to get the best people and then they try to get them to stay after the schooling is done. It's complicated over here.
6722563 So to get a job, you have to have job experience, but to get job experience, you have to have a job.
I had to reread the description 5 times to understand it.
Uhhhhhhhhh... Alright then.
Well this is an interesting concept. I wonder if any of the mane 6 will catch on about the whole human parents thing. Will be tracking this story!
Ok, please write more of this. This looks like it could go far.
Nicely done, I like the fact they don't see what's wrong, it promises a lot of funny situations.
me want moar
You cannot leave this undone. I must know how it goes over for Pinkie Pie... And Rarity, and Applejack, and Fluttershy, and Twilight. And you could do a Sunset Shimmer chapter for at school, or Sugar Cube Corner. But this is your fic, your decision.
Nice, nice! This is a clever concept, with a lot of potential for comedy. There are a couple errors, though. This is what I noticed:
This isn't grammatically correct. It should be "reminded".
Should be "Had he overdone".
Other than that, this is really good! I look forward to seeing what the next chapter has in store.
Oh this is gonna be fun.
Oooh this is going to be interesting
