Author's note; Rainbow Dash is in anthro form. I also wish to apologize for the confusion about this story. A while ago, I was working on another story about the Sonic Team, the Mane Six, and other characters joining forces to combat a league of villains. A part of this story included Rainbow Dash starting to remember her father and after they beat the villains, Sonic took Rainbow Dash to her father.
I Loved Her First
I remember some time ago, that she said I was her number one. I was the only man in her life, I was enough for her. Now look at her, she's a grown beautiful teenager. For fifteen years, I helped her grow and raised her to be the girl she is now. Look at her, she is just so beautiful. How could this be the same dimpled face little girl that I tucked into bed and read bedtime stories all those years? The same girl who would always tell me before she fell asleep, "I love you, pops." The same girl I lost two years ago, but you brought her back to me.
The both of you just appeared on my front porch, her looking up at me with those eyes that I missed so much. She jumped up and wrapped her arms around me, crying out, "Daddy!" I couldn't move. I was in awe. I didn't ever doubt it was my baby girl. I recognized her face, voice, and touch. My only recourse was to hold her. I felt tears roll down my cheeks as I mumbled her name, "Dashie."
She introduced you as a friend, but the way you two looked at each other told a different story. After a while, watching you two on the swing set on the back of the porch, looking into each other's eyes. You two are so much in love, that your pretty much alone in your own place. But you don't have to worry about me. I know you'd never hurt her, I can hear it when you talk to her. Plus she wouldn't act this way towards you if she didn't trust you. But I still want you to be careful when you hold her, she still the world to me.
Life has to go on and I know I'll have to give her to you some day. I'm not being hopeful that she'll marry you, I know you two will have a future together. I feel the magic between you two and that's something you can't deny. You two are getting closer and closer every day. You may deny it now, but I know you two will just come out with it soon. Very soon. And I won't dare stand in your way. She'd hate me for that.
But I want you to remember this; I loved her first. I held her first. She'll always hold a place in my heart. From the moment she first looked up at me and when she first smiled at me, I knew that a father's love runs deep. And when they took her away from me, the one thing I begged God for was that she would find you some day. Someone who would love and cherish her everyday. And I know it'll be hard to give her away in the future. But if I'm giving her to you, I know she'll be happy. That's good enough for me. But like I said kiddo, I loved her first.
