Chapter Two: Flashback!

*nighttime*

Rainbow Biltz's P.O.V

Rainbow Dash had let me use her bed while she slept on the couch. I didn't really argue, either. I went downstairs to get some water when I heard very quiet sobs coming from the living room. I walked in there and I saw Dash crying over a picture of what must've been her family, I couldn't see it very well. I went over to her and put my hoof on her shoulder. "Hey you alright?" Blitz asked. Dash quickly wiped her eyes. "Y-yep, everything's fine," Dash responded quickly. "Dash I know you're not fine. What's up?" Blitz asked again. "Well . . . . A couple years ago my family died to the Feather Flu," Dash's voice cracked. "W-we were just too far away from any hospitals."

~flashback~

No one's P.O.V

The Dash family was all stranded on an island because their boat got out of control and got stranded on an island. Dash's family had the Feather Flu and were too weak to fly and Dash definitely couldn't carry them all back, she was too young. Her Mother feared that Dash would get it too, so she tried to make her daughter leave. "Dashie please . . *cough* *cough* . . You have to leave! I don't want you to get sick too, you're sister is already dying!" Dash's Mom coughed harshly. "Please!"

"But Mamma what about you?" Dash asked, tears in her eyes. "Don't worry about us, Dashie, we'll be fine," Dash's Mom lied with another cough. "N-no you won't," Dash sobbed. "You'll die!"

"Dashie, listen to me we'll always be with you, in your heart you just have to leave!" Dash's Mom coughed. Dash's Dad came forward with a grim expression on his face. "S-she died . . . ," Dash's Dad said sadly with a cough of his own. Dash's Mom started to cry. "This is why you have to leave, Dashie. Be strong for me!"

"But Mamma I don't want to!" Dash cried. Then a mist seemed to form in the corner of her eyes. She looked over and saw two transparent figures. One was an alicorn that kinda looked like me and the other one was my sister. "Don't worry Rainbow Dash, I'll keep them safe for you," the alicorn said. "She's right, Dashie!" Dash's sister squeaked. "We'll be fine, we'll always be here for you! Just be strong and leave! We'll be with you and if you need us you do anything to find a way to contact us!"

"B-but how? You're dead," Dash sobbed. "You'll find it in time, now we have to go you're parents' times are almost up," the alicorn whispered and vanished with my sister. "Dashie!" Dash's Mom said. "You have to leave!"

"O-okay," Dash said, crying. Dash hugged her Mom and then her Dad, not caring if she got sick or not. "I'll miss you so much and I promise you that I'll find a way back to you!"

"We love you too and be save, my little Dashie," Dash's Mom said. Dash nodded and took off. She flew for many days, until she finally crash landed on a beach and found by some local ponies. They fixed her up and then she lived with them until she was old enough to move out. Then she moved to Ponyville.

Blitz's P.O.V

Dash sat on her couch crying. "Hey it's okay," I said. "N-no it's not, I haven't found my way back to my family like my sister said I would," Dash cried, blowing her nose on a napkin, which she threw in a pile of already used napkins. I cradled her in my arms until she fell asleep. I then kissed her forehead and went upstairs to go to bed and as I did so, I thought it weird that I was attracted to my counterpart, we were basically the same ponies yet we seemed different in some way.
