True Friendship
A Rainbow Dash Tale.
...
...
...
I thought, that friendship was just going to slow me down. I bet you're saying "that's not the way the element of loyalty would say!" And yeah. I know. But that was me. So from the ground I look up at the sky sometimes when ever I got the chance to go outside, and I would say to myself, "I want to reach those clouds someday." But I'm a toy. A stuffie plushie one to be exact. And I still reached them, but, not by flying.. I learned that I had a WAY bigger role to play than that. But enough of my babbling.. So it began like this.
(')
I awoken.
Nobody told me to or gave me the practical 'good morning' alarm when they pull open the dark curtains to bring in Celestia's end of sleepy time dream killer of doom. (Seriously?! Is that how Luna feels?) It wasn't like any of those things. But it felt more like, if something went its way inside me, to bring me life. Like, if a soul flew its way inside of an empty body. Just there. Filling me, and making me whole-
"Rainbow Dash! Are you coming!"
Dang it! And I made an awesome intro too! Looks like this story will be in autopilot mode. See you at the end!

My eyes flew wide open, as now was my first time of being awake.
It was weird, in my position like this. Something. Something brought me here. To existence. Because, I don't remember what I did or where I was at before being awake.
Awake.
I was in a dark void, no light to be found. And it was tight too, I can hardly move. But that term awake was different. Instead of getting out of a deep sleep, it was more of, like, maybe.. I was born.
...
But that's what it felt like! If a soul just took its place, in me! From all places! ME! But why? Why ME? Why now? Why?.. This is odd. Now that I think about me specifically.. who am I? What am I? Do I even have a name! I guess I'm just a void. But, there's something more. At least what I think. I hope. I don't want to stay trap. I need to be free.
"Mom! Mommy! Can I open one present please!?"
I stood still in my small position, and put my head up against what seemed like a wall. A little girl's voice at the other side of it.
"Sure sweetie, but only one. Your father and David are still upstairs."
Presents? What's going on?! But I need to be noticed. I have to get out of here! I began to shake side by side, hoping that whoever is beyond the darkness will see me! Or am I just crazy and hearing random voices in my head? I swayed farther and farther, until I tilted too far and landed with a thump on my left side.
Oops.
I began to here thumping on the floor, realising someone was approaching me. They picked me up upright, as I came off my side. Then after a moment, the sound of tearing paper was all around me, but I didn't see anything. Soon a strange white line was above me, glowing too, and reliefed that there was light on the other side of this dark void. The wall above my head opened like double doors, the bright light flooding in and causing me to squint. After adjusting my pupils to the new environment, I saw a little girl. The girl had green eyes and caramel-colored hair, looking at me in astonishment.
Awkward.
"Oh my GOSH! Thank you mommy!"
That's what she squealed when she picked me up from the dark room and twirled me around. 'This girl has some problems.'
Soon two other people came from another hallway. One that I guessed was the girl's father, and maybe, an older brother of hers.
"Look what my little Lydia has gotten this year! It's a unicorn!" The father said happily, picking up his daughter into a hug. The girl looked at him. "She's not a unicorn, she's a pegasus! A pegasus from Cloudsdale!" The girl named Lydia exclaimed, holding out the toy and flapping my wings for me.
Wait.
What!?
I looked into a nearby mirror on a wall, examining myself from top to bottom. I was indeed a pegasus, a pony with wings. I was the color of the sky, and my mane was in amazing rainbow colors, followed by a small marking on my flank. What was it? Before I could make it out, the father placed the girl down, which brought me down from eye-view from the mirror.
"You are right! Great job! But, why did you want a blue pony when you could have a pink or purple one?"
"Oh, let her be. She can have black one if she wanted too. And besides, it's Christmas!" The mother said as she walked over to a huge pine tree decorated with lights and many other things. Why did they put candy on the tree? They don't want it?! But now I was examining the house. It was big. Very big. At least to me, or was it that I was very small. I'm not sure. There was a fireplace near the tree with a mantle, and pictures in frames all along it. Lights on a wired string hung everywhere. Colorful lights. And cinnamon scented candles made the house cozy. Too bad I can't eat.
The mother picked up a colorful box with a bow on it, one that looked like one that I came out of. How can it be so dark inside, but pretty on the outside? Has this world gone mad!?
"Alright! Time to pass out the rest of the presents!"
Ugh, we stood there like, FOREVER! Nothing but passing out presents, open, happiness, and continuity. So boring! So far I seen a dart board, a sewing kit, these things called video games, but not any other toys like me. That's just great.
After they got done and cleaned up the paper, the girl grabbed me and skipped of to the kitchen. "Come on! We are going to have some hot chocolate!"
Soon we were in a different room with many appliances. I saw mugs placed across the counter, believing it was the hot chocolate, because there was little marshmallows floating at the top. I thought she was just exaggerating when she said it was hot. Nope, steam was indeed rising from it. I don't want any of that spilling on me.
"Lydia, sweetie? I think it's best you leave your pony upstairs in your bedroom." The mother said as she gestured to me.
"But mommy, this is her first Christmas! And she wants hot co-co too!"
No I don't! No I don't!
"But you don't want to get her dirty, do you?"
The daughter thought for a moment. Trying to think of something to say to refute. "No."
"Good, so quickly put her upstairs. And when you're done you can meet her again, alright?"
The girl sighed. "Okay."
Despite her sad tone she ran out the kitchen and up the stairs, with me along the way. She barged into her room and placed me on a bed. "Here you go. I won't take too long, okay? Oh! And here's a remote in case you want to look at tv!" Placing a rectangular flat device on my right side. Then running out the room and closing the door behind her.
I'm glad I was alone, but not in the dark. I looked around my surroundings. It was the girl's room alright, pink walls, pink bed, kinda obvious don't you think? Her bed was pink with a colorful flower pattern on it, along with matching pillows. She had a bunch of stuff in here. Noticeable posters on the walls. One of them had kittens on it, flowers, butterflies, and-
And-
Me.
It was a picture of me and five other ponies that I never seen before. What? I'm confuse. Why? I have a perfect guess..
She wants to trap more of my kind!
'Hello there.'
'Whose there! I'll go ninja!' I yelled, standing up on four legs and going against the bed.
'No need to be scared Ms.'
I stopped, still frightened up. 'I went through a lot in the past half hour. I was trapped in a box, harassed by a crazy girl, and almost died by a chocolate beverage!'
I looked next to me to see a figure.
'AHH! Wait. You're not a monster.'
It was another toy. A stuffed puppy. It was half of my size, and it was a brown orange color with floppy dark brown ears, and legs and belly that was white. It had black eyes, and a white muzzle. 'Of course I'm not a monster! Silly! I'm Puppy!
'You mean, you are a puppy?'
'Yes, but my name is Puppy!'
I was confused for a moment there. 'What kind of name is Puppy?'
The small dog looked at me like if I was dumb. 'Well, what name do you expect from a seven year-old! Besides, I kinda like it!'
'Well.' I laughed, walking along the bed. 'I wouldn't go for a name like that. I would what something cool, and awsome!'
'Oh really?' The toy dog said. 'Then what's your name?'
'I'm-'
...
...
'I don't have a name!'
The stuffed dog laughed, sitting down and pointing at me with its paw. 'See! You have to wait until Lydia gives you a name first!'
'So!? I can just. Name myself!'
'Sorry, it doesn't work that way. And besides, it's impossible for a toy to name their self.'
I was frustrated with this dog. 'How can that be impossible! I can think of a name in just ten seconds!'
'Do it!'
I looked at the dog. 'What?'
'Do it! You said you can name your self in ten seconds, well, go ahead!'
I thought for a moment, thinking of what to call myself. 'Well, you see-'
'Exactly!'
We then heard footsteps coming up the stairs. The puppy quickly ran to its original spot. 'You have to freeze! Now!'
All though I wanted to disagree, we both froze like the toys we are, as the door opened with a happy girl skipping through. "There you are! You were waiting for me the whole time!" The little girl then yawned, and picked me up.
"Well," she said as she turned off the light, now the moonlight streaming in. "We can catch up on things together tomorrow, okay?"
She hoped under the blankets, dragging me in with her, and pulled me in a hug, a tight one at that. Little too tight.
"Good night, Rainbow Dash..."
Hearing my name for the first time.
