- A small drabble of what I think Rainbow Dash would be like as a mother. Also my first go at Pony and not Equestria Girls.
- >Racing through the air.
- >The feel of the wind beating at your face at supersonic speeds.
- >Everything around you a blur.
- >A feeling you are all too familiar with.
- >And welcome.
- >For you are Rainbow Dash.
- >Captain of the Wonderbolts.
- >An elite group that really doesn't need an introduction.
- >Which is good because you don't really have time to explain.
- >You are in a hurry.
- >And you are rushing through the sky with all of your strength.
- >Are you rushing to aid in a catastrophe?
- >Is Equestria's fate on the line?
- >Nope.
- >Equestria has been in a state of peace and prosperity for many years.
- >No.
- >You are rushing against time because you are late.
- >Your foal was due off school 10 minutes ago.
- >And you were stuck at the Wonderbolts training facility.
- >Some cadets found it humorous to pull a prank on some of the new recruits.
- >And while you can appreciate a good prank.
- >Anything that would interfere with your time with your child, then there would be Tartarus to pay.
- >And pay they will. Dearly.
- >Another day.
- >Now, you must make up for the lost time.
- >Which isn't to say you're a lousy mother.
- >Far from it!
- >You think you're an awesome mother!
- >But with your duties to the Wonderbolts and the Academy and the counsel of Friendship with Princess Twilight Sparkle.
- >You cherished your time with your little one greatly since you couldn't spend every day with him.
- >Today you were going to take your little colt to his after school club activities.
- >Ponyville was just in sight and approaching fast.
- >You decided to settle in Ponyville for the simple fact that while you and your foal were both Pegasus Ponies, the father was not.
- >So relocating to Ponyville was an easy way for all parties involved.
- >You didn't mind one bit.
- >You had many friends still living in the area.
- >And you've grown to love the place ever since you were assigned here all those years ago when you worked for the Weather Patrol.
- >You begin to slow down and make you decent to the small wooden schoolhouse.
- >You can see several foals with their parents still lounging around the school.
- >And you see him.
- >Your little Wondercolt, as you like to call him.
- >A small green colt with a black mane.
- >Despite him being a Pony, he looks a lot like his father.
- >Who was not.
- >Long story.
- >For another time.
- >At least he had your eyes!
- >You see him sitting out in front of the schoolhouse.
- >Next to the teacher, Ms. Cheerilee.
- >From your distance you can see him looking sad.
- >Did something happen?
- >You instantly speed back up and you almost crash land right in front of the schoolhouse.
- >Your semi harsh landing sent out a small shockwave on the ground, startling anypony who was around you.
- >You didn't care.
- >Your child looked sad.
- >And you were going to find out why.
- >Once everypony else realized what had just happened, they all saw that it was you.
- >Instantly, many of the onlookers went from frightened and angered to excited.
- >Here was the one and only Rainbow Dash.
- >Heroine to Equestria.
- >Wonderbolt Captain.
- >All the good stuff.
- >Many of the Ponies try to crowd you and ask for your autograph.
- “Thanks, everypony, but I'm here for my foal.”
- >You say unceremoniously plain as you begin to maneuver your way through the crowd of admirers.
- >Finally you make it to your colt and Ms. Cheerilee.
- “I'm so sorry I'm late!”
- >You apologize profusely to the aging teacher and bow your head.
- >The magenta Pony simply waves her hoof.
- >”I understand things can be a bit hectic trying to train the Wonderbolts.”
- >She says all to easily like it's no big deal.
- >You finally look up at over to your foal and sure enough. He looks a bit sad.
- “Did anything happen to him?”
- >You ask.
- >Cheerilee shakes her head.
- >”Just some other foals were trying to get under his skin.”
- >She then looks down to the young colt.
- >”But he handled it very well.”
- >She has a look of pride on the youngin.
- >”You've been raising him well.”
- >You stand tall and stick your chest out in pride.
- >Of course you're raising him well.
- >After all, you're awesome!
- >Your colt finally gets up from his spot and slowly trots over to where you are.
- >You take your hoof and muffle his mane.
- “Heya Squirt!”
- >”Hi mom.”
- >He lowly says.
- >You take a double take at him.
- >He's usually not this down.
- >You're gonna need to talk to him.
- “Well, thanks for watching him Cheerilee! We've got to get going!”
- >You wave your hoof out to Cheerilee.
- >You and your colt then try to pass through the group of ponies that have now gathered because of your presence.
- “Sorry everypony, we're in a hurry!”
- >You both finally break free of the now disappointed crowd and both begin to stretch your wings and fly off.
- >Going in the air at a reasonable pace.
- >Your little foal has been silent the whole time.
- “So, how was school?”
- >You start your not-interrogation into what happened at school.
- >He just still sulks for a moment.
- >Then he looks over to you.
- >”I don't think I want to go to O&O club anymore.”
- >That was out of left field.
- >The little one LOVES that dumb game.
- >Maybe not that dumb.
- >You've dabbled in a game or two in your life.
- >Magically enhanced by Discord was the only reason it was even fun.
- >But it certainly wouldn't be your first choice of activity.
- >Or second.
- >Or third.
- >You try to see what made the sudden change of heart.
- “Well, if you don't want to play it anymore I won't stop you, but why?”
- >You ask.
- >He looks over to you with that look you hate.
- >That weaponized look of sadness that could make any parent bend to their foal's will.
- >He then looks away from you.
- >”I don't want to talk about it.”
- >You then speed up to get in front of him to halt him in his tracks.
- “Now you hold it right there mister.”
- >You say in a rare stern voice to him.
- “I'm fine with you wanting to quit O&O club, but first you need to tell me why and does it have to do with what happened in school?”
- >He looks up to you again with that same look.
- >But you were prepared for it this time and didn't budge.
- >Now real tears start to form in his eyes.
- >Uh oh, did you do something wrong?
- >”Are you proud of me?”
- >He finally blurts out.
- >What kind of question is that?
- “What? Why would you even ask such a thing?”
- >He wipes his eyes dry of the tears that are now starting to fall.
- >”A lot of the other foals were teasing me at school.”
- >He continues
- >”Telling me about how I could be the son of the famous Rainbow Dash but didn't have any interest in competitive flying, and would rather play that lame Ogres & Oubliettes game instead.”
- >He bows his head in shame.
- >”Telling me how disappointed you must be in me for not wanting to be a Wonderbolt like you.”
- >He starts to cry.
- >You begin to swell with rage.
- >The nerve of foals these days.
- >Then your heart sinks.
- >You admit, you weren't too thrilled he didn't want to follow in your hoofsteps.
- >Not even showing an interest in Buckball either.
- >He loves his puzzles and board games.
- >Then his father had pointed something out that you never realized.
- >The poor kid would have so much pressure placed upon him because of who you are.
- >Sure, he's your colt, so you know he would be up to it.
- >Then again, would he?
- >You thought about it long and hard.
- >And perhaps they were right, it would have been too much, especially if his heart wasn't in it.
- >But back at the problem at hand.
- “Why would you EVER believe what those stupid foals think and not me?”
- >You exclaim.
- “I'm your mother!”
- >The poor kid still isn't convinced.
- >You sigh and collect your thoughts.
- “Look at me.”
- >You instruct your child.
- >He does so with still teary eyes.
- “No matter what you want to do in your life, your father and I will ALWAYS be by your side!”
- >You inch closer.
- “And as long as you are happy, and give it your all, and then another 20 percent on top of that, then I will always be proud of you!”
- >You're right next to him.
- “No matter what.”
- >He looks down.
- >He begins to shake.
- >Finally he lunges and hold you for a big hug.
- >Sobbing into your Wonderbolts Jacket.
- >You match his embrace.
- >And hold him tight.
- >Never wanting to let him go.
- >”Thank you.”
- >He whispers.
- >You then nuzzle his mane.
- “Anytime Squirt.”
- >You finally break free from the mother son moment.
- “And besides, If neither your dad nor I are there, you better believe Gramps Hothoof and Granny Whistles will be there to cheer extra hard.”
- >He giggles at your too true comment.
- >His tears are now gone and a new look of determination on his face.
- “Now then, how about we get you to your club session so you can show the others how awesome you can be!”
- >He nods his head with confidence.
- “That's the spirit!”
- >You lead the charge forward.
- >And your colt follows soon behind
- >With a new sense of pride.
- >You are an awesome mother.
