Chapter 6: New Enemies
As everypony just glared at each other, Lily thought of something. Maybe they could come to my castle, it would be kind of me. The thought made her words come out as fast as it came to mind.
" Lightning Strike, Lunar Eclipse, I would like to offer you both to a visit to my castle, " she announced proudly. The two ponies nodded, " That would be nice, " Lightning Strike smirked.
Rainbow Dash just went along with it. " So, " Lunar Eclipse began, " Let's head out! We want to get there as soon as possible, correct Lily and, Rainbow Crash? ". Rainbow instantly froze at the name. She glared at Lunar Eclipse with an angry look.
Lunar Eclipse ignored the pony's glare. She started following Lily, who was already walking without them. Lightning Strike followed, and Rainbow Dash sighed and began walking.
Approaching the castle, Lunar Eclipse got a good idea. I could make the pegasus riled up by calling her Rainbow Crash, I mean she seems to hate that name. She smirked at the idea and decided to put it to action.
" Oh Rainbow Crash! Keep up, you are so slow! " Lunar Eclipse yelled out. Rainbow Dash glared at her again, " That isn't my na- " Lunar Eclipse stopped her. " I can call you what I want Rainbow Crash, " she grinned evilly and continued walking.
Rainbow Dash was beginning to lose patience with this pony, as she remembered the painful childhood memories of the nickname 'Rainbow Crash'. Rainbow sighed and continued walking.
They finally approached the huge castle. Lightning Strike was amazed, " What a big den! I mean… castle! ". Lily ignored her word mess up, " It's more cozy on the inside. ". She opened the doors to reveal a beautifully decorated castle, with hoof-made decorations.
Lightning Strike continued to look with wonder, while Lunar Eclipse thought nothing of it. She then got an idea, I'll learn more about this place if I ask them questions!
The words suddenly slipped from her mind, " So, what is life in Equestria like? ". Lily decided to answer, " It's nice. We usually have to fight off villains a lot. ".
" Like ones that call ponies names? " Lightning Strike asked, Lily nodded. Lunar Eclipse took this as the perfect chance to insult the pegasus once again, " That crash earlier was epic, Rainbow Crash. ".
Rainbow Dash could not stand it any longer, she screamed out, " THAT'S IT! ". Queen Lily smiled nervously, " Calm down Rai- " Rainbow Dash interrupted her. " You have no idea how I have felt ever since I was a foal! I was called that horrible name, and you have reminded me of terrible memories! You have no idea what it's like to be called a dreadful nickname! ".
Lunar Eclipse just looked at her. She knew in her heart she felt this way before about her name being messed up. " Again, I can call you what I want, Rainbow Crash, Rainbow Crash, " she continued to repeat the nickname.
Lily attempted to stop them, so she amplified her voice with a spell. She took in a deep breath, and screamed to the top of her lungs, " SILENCE! ".
The two ponies instantly stopped fighting, " Woah, don't have to scream tiny, " Lunar Eclipse mocked. Lily was enraged even more, " OUT! " she pointed to the door.
Lunar Eclipse and Lightning Strike stomped out, realizing they were no longer welcome. Lily slammed the door, fury burning in her eyes.
She took a deep breath, and relaxed. " I'm sorry, I had no idea, " her ears went down as she apologized to Rainbow Dash. The cyan pegasus could only nod and smile, " It's fine. ".
