Replaced!
Chapter 1: You're Fired!
I wake up sometimes and question how fast I really am. Look in the mirror as I hop up and down on my hooves, getting psyched up for the day. I have to be stronger, i have to be faster. I felt the wind in my face yesterday, so today I have to feel it left in the dust. "You got this Dash! You've got this!" I say to myself as I step out of the clouds.
The sun is beaming ever so brightly, another wonderful day.
Yesterday you cleared the sky in 10 seconds flat. Flat!
Not even a millsecond left to hang, it was fast, but of course I could be faster. I have to strive to go faster! I have to break all the barriers that I couldn't before. That is what it truly means to be fast.
My mind flickers back to that day. Ugh, everyday I think about it the thought can never escape my head. The Sonic Rainboom, the absolute pinacle of my speed .The fastest that I can possibly go. It was my limit, a limit i feared to break. I can't even caculate in seconds how fast I was going. All I remember was the rush, the feeling of the air slowly escaping me, but something more fufilling taking its place.
Adreneline.
I scrapped my hooves in annoyance. I wish I could go out and perform the maneuver once more. I had mastered the speed it would take. The height and skill to cause the destruction of the light spectrum at my hooves. Well at least that is what Twilight called it. At least she attempted to explain the science to me.
"Rainbow, you might possibly be the fast pegasi to have ever lived!" she wailed with exciment as she explained the speeds of mach. How when I made the nose dive and broke the sound barrier I broke mach 5, and when I shattered the the light spectrum it sent the blast known as the rainboom and launched me two times the speed that I had been. I was going the speed of light...
Once Twilight had got done explaining it, the Rainboom sounded way better in science than it did in my head. The only bad part about it, was the boom traveled far, shattering glass and toppling over trees. Princess Celestia banned me from using the technique. I could only use it when in dire need.
Though banned from the adreneline rush that I crave, it only pushed me to increase my natural speed. I had to if I wanted to join the Wonderbolts. I looked at my poster longingly. I was positive that they would have noticed me by now. How much had I, the great Rainbow Dash accomplish in the last year. Not only had I saved their lives, but I performed the Rainboom doing so!
Ugh! What makes it even worse?
Countless tricks and daredevil antics have launched me to the level of a celebripony!
Yawning, I walked outside of my cloud home and let the sun beam on my wings. The feeling each morning brightened up my usual cranky bedhead. Shaking my head I looked to the clouds. "What in Celestia?"
"Rainbow Dash!" A pegasi I have never seen before flew up to me looking annoyed. Who is this guy? The pegasi were followed by others around his size. An entourage, really. "Rainbow Dash, you are aware that it is 2 in the afternoon and these clouds were to be caroulled and sent on their way to Canterlot."
"Heheh..." I felt sweat begining to trickle down my neck. Crud, how could I forget that the Pegasi Weather committtee was traveling Equstria evaluating all the weather patrol. "Oohh... you guys, I did not know you guys were coming today... eheheh.."
"So mind explaining why these clouds are unmoved?" the eldest of the pegasi spoke in a high Canterlot accent. Honestly I didnt know how to answer her so I reminaed quiet gulping. "I knew that we shouldn't have trusted the job with such a child. Look at her, barely a mare and already in charge of her whole tons weather!"
Others murmured in agreement with her.
Dude, no way. This pony was being so uncool. "Now hold on just a second!" I flew in her face in shock. "I have been on weather patrol for over a year and I have gotten nothing, but great reports from Ponyville's mayor!"
"Ponyville's mayor does not know the weather schedual dear. She is just pleased no natural disasters have come through and demolished this town, but counting on your determination to move it somtime in the day I can see why." She huffed looking away and speaking with the others once more. This snobby council pony was getting to me.
"Look I was out pretty late, my friend Pinkie she had a party and-"
"Party?" the woman gasped astonished. "This job is surely not suited for you! Partying! Ha, what else do you do. Have you even been doing your job Ms. Dash?"
"That of course I have!" What the hay this was so not cool? Who did this pony think she was? My ears drooped as I saw her peers nodding their heads in agreement with her. I had to stop them, there were plenty of pnies who knew that I did my job well. "Maybe I slept in late today, but that doesn't mean that I don't do my job."
This didn't convince the pony looked away and frowned. "I call that she be replaced..."
My heart instantly stopped... "Re- re- replaced?"
"Why of course!" to my dismay her followers once again agreed nodding their heads. The pegasi flew towards the clouds smiling. "You needn't worry about the rest of these clouds dear. I will clear them out, just make sure that all of your belongings are cleared out of the Cloud Manor by sunset. Your replacement will be here tommorow. I am quite sorry my dear, but you are fired." she smiled floating away with a smug grin on her face.
My heart shriveled as I stared at the ponies flying away. I can't say why, but it felt like... they took my wings...
Looking up I shook my head determined. I could not let this happen, there is no way that I would let them take this from me. I had to inform the Princess, the Mayor, somepony! I had to at least try! Turning my head back I flew down towards the town, I had to find Twilight. If there was anyone who would know what to do about this it would be her!
Please mind the spellcheck will be coming soon. My computer is just acting a little fuzzy now! Please review everyone counts!
