Dancing Through Life
A/N: My third My Little Pony story! Unbelievable! I know, I have lots of other stories in progress right now, but I can't help but post more. I just have so many ideas for stories that I want to share with all of you.
This time, it's Equestria Girls, but there's no magic. But, I really hope you like this first chapter. It's an AU based off the movie Another Cinderella Story.
Enjoy! And, action!
Chapter 1
Rainbow's Rough Life
Lights were flashing everywhere in rhythm as pop music started playing. Then, a shadow of a person was shown through all the lights. Then, they stopped and revealed a 18-year-old girl.
The girl had rainbow hair, magenta eyes, cyan skin, and a lean figure. She wore a casual red polo shirt over a black sleeveless tank top and tight black pants, showing off her curves and figure. She smiled confidently as other people came behind her in formation and all of them began dancing. Then, the rainbow girl started singing while she danced.
Everybody tells me that it's wrong
What I'm feeling,
That I shouldn't believe in,
The dreams I've been dreaming.
I hear it everyday,
I hear it all the time.
I'm never gonna 'mount to much,
But they're never gonna change my mind. Oh!
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
How many inches in a mile?
What it takes to make you smile?
Get ya not to treat me like
A child, baby.
"RAINBOW DASH!"
The girl, now known as Rainbow Dash, snapped out of her daydream, and the scene in her mind's eye morphed into a dressing room, and her 22-year-old stepsister, Adagio Dazzle, glaring at her. Adagio had puffy golden orange hair, yellow skin, and dark maroon eyes. They look similar to Rainbow's own magenta orbs, but while Dash had kindess and confidence in hers, Adagio had cruelty and overgrown pride in her own. Over her clothes, she wore a white robe, and make up artists were prepping her with blush and toner to accent her skin tone.
Rainbow though, instead of the cool dance clothes in her daydream, was now wearing a white shirt with a tri-colored lightning bolt underneath a blue sports vest, a pink and white gym skirt, black leggings, and blue sneaker boots.
"How can I be an artist when you can't be bothered to do your job?" Adagio asked as Rainbow brushed aside her bangs from her eyes. "Which, by the way, is fetching me bubbly water. Are you trying to ruin me?"
"I'm sorry." Dash apologized. "It won't happen again."
"There are people who would kill for this job. You bubble me now, or you're grounded forever." Adagio threatened. "And stay out of my dressing room."
Dash rolled her eyes and went out of the dressing room to follow her order. This was the reality of her life. No dancing, no being who she wants to be. Just work and wait on end.
Soon, Rainbow Dash got over to the waiting room, went to a cooler and opened it. After scanning through soda cans and bottles of regular water, she found a bottle of bubbly water. But just as she grabbed it out, a hand came over and snatched it away.
"Oh my gosh. Thanks so much, Rainbow Dash." It was Aria Blaze, Dash's second stepsister. She was 18 like her, and she had long purple hair with teal highlights tied up into two long ponytails, her skin a lighter shade than her hair, and her eyes a darker purple. She wore a cream tank top underneath an aqua vest with short jagged sleeves, dark purple pants, and tall boots an even darker shade. And her arms were covered with several armbands.
"That was the last bottle of bubbly, wasn't it?" She said.
Rainbow gave her a sarcastic smile. "No, thank you, Aria." She glared at her, then groaned as she began to search the cooler again. "Adagio's gonna kill me."
"Not my problem." Aria said indifferently.
Just then, Sonata Dusk, Rainbow's third stepsister, came in and beside Aria. She was 16, and she had cyan blue skin similar to Dash's own, long cerculean hair with navy highlights tied up in a crown-high ponytail, and also had matching magenta eyes. Bu just like her blood sister, Adagio, her eyes held overgrown pride, but also cluelessness. She wore a maroon jacket with pink trim with a matching skirt, a pink shirt underneath, and matching boots with white heels.
"So true." She said as she took a can of soda. "Oh, they told me that you're holding back the whole filming of the video, and that's bad. Because you work for us, in case you forgot."
"Oh, how can I ever forget?" Rainbow Dash said sarcastically as she rummaged through the cooler.
How did Dash end up in this situation? Well, when she was about 12, her parents adopted Adagio, Aria, and Sonata, who call themselves the Dazzlings, since they are a girl garage band. But then, 2 years later, Rainbow's parents died. Since Adagio was old enough to take legal custody of her younger siblings, including Dash, they remained together. But, they make Rainbow do all the work around the house.
The reason why, unknown to Dash, was because it was obvious that throughout the years, she was becoming more beautiful than them, and that she has an amazing talent for dancing. So, they always try to bring her down so that she doesn't get more popular than their upcoming band.
"What's with the attitude?" Aria demanded. "We have been so good to you. Without us, you'd be out on the street."
Rainbow only glared at her as she continued searching around in the cooler.
"You may live in the 90210, but you're still just a zero." Sonata teased.
Dash finally found another bottle of bubbly water at the very bottom of the cooler, and closed it. "We live in the 90211, genius." She corrected.
"Rainbow Dash!" Adagio called. "Bubbles, now!"
"Coming, Adagio!" Rainbow called back as she ran out of the waiting room, leaving behind a stunned Sonata and Aria.
"Is that true?" Sonata asked her sister.
Aria only groaned and rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
A/N: I really thought that if I wanted to try this AU, Rainbow Dash would be the best choice for this Cinderella character. I could easily picture her doing all those sweet dance moves.
As for the Dazzlings, I'm pretty sure there's no explanation. And who would've thought of three stepsisters?
I'll see y'all in the next chapter, where Rainbow Dash might see an opportunity to really show her stuff. Please leave a review about what you guys think.
Got to fly!
