"Rainbow Dash wake up this instant!" the unicorn snapped at the young filly who was at the moment taking a nap in the middle of her history class. However, the rough maned filly kept snoring. Another filly who looked very similar to her nudged her on the shoulder in order to wake her up.
"Psst, Dash wake up," Spectrum Flash whispered to her sister as she kept nudging her.
"Huh, what are we doing?" the woozy filly asked a bit too loud. The teacher glared at her student with anger.
"Rainbow Dash, this is the last time you're going to sleep in my class! You've just earned yourself another detention. Meet me this afternoon, same class as always-"
"Blah blah blah yeah yeah, I know the drill lectures and quiet I get it," Rainbow Dash cut her teacher off in the middle of her speech earning herself yet another seething glare.
"Well, if you know so much why don't you tell us who Starswirl the Bearded was," her history teacher mocked.
"Uh, an earth po- unicor-pega... a bearded old dude?" Rainbow Dash smirked. She really knew that he was a unicorn, but she always acted stupid in front of her classmates in order to keep up with a cool reputation. This last comment earned her a series of giggles, laughs, and hive hooves.
"How about another detention this Saturday, since you're so brilliant," the unicorn seethed.
"What! Not Saturday, that's when the new Ponymon series comes on!" Rainbow yelled, another wave of laughter fell upon the classroom.
"Well, I guess that's too bad. Meet me in the Principal's office after this class," the teacher said as a final punishment. Rainbow mumbled something that made the class laugh again as she marched to the principal's office with her stubby hooves. The teacher didn't even bother looking at Rainbow Dash, instead she just went through the rest of her lesson.
In the principal's office, Rainbow was being stared down by another unicorn who had a gray ane pulled into a bun with pens and pencils holding it together. Rainbow leaned back in her chair and gave out a huge sigh as she waited for her teacher to get there.
"Well, Rainbow Dash, what did you do this time?" the principal asked breaking the silence. Rainbow only shrugged, she never liked talking to the principal since one screw up meant a call home for her. Every time the school called her parents, she would arrive home just to get a lecture about how she should be more like her sisters. Rainbow sighed again. As if on cue, her teacher trotted into the room with a fairly unpleasant look set upon her face. Dash sat up in the chair and watched as her teacher trotted in front of her.
"Rainbow Dash, how many times am I going to have to see you here?" her teacher began.
"As many times as you like. I'm not sending myself here," Rainbow said cockily as ever. The teacher sighed and knelt down to the small filly.
"Rainbow, I know you're a smart kid, but you can't keep acting up. I've seen your grades, schools all over Equestria would love to have you and your sisters enroll, but your behavior kills it all," the teacher said as if pleading.
"All I need is to pass grade school and I'm set as long as I stay cool," Rainbow replied simply.
"Is that all there is to you? Being cool? Rainbow, you can't act stupid just so that kids think you're cool. Just be yourself, even if it may seem nerdy." Rainbow looked away from the teacher.
"Whatever, I don't need this school, I don't need any pony," she said scornfully. The teacher sighed once more. There was nothing that ever pleased the troublesome filly.
Meanwhile, two more rainbow maned fillies were on their way home. "Can you believe Rainbow Dash would act like that in class?" Spectrum Flash asked her sister.
"Well, you know Rainbow. She likes the attention," Polychrome answered quietly.
"Ugh, I cannot believe I'm even related to her. Maybe she as adopted?"
"Well, we all have rainbow hair, I don't think that comes to just any pony," Passion giggled.
"Yeah, I wonder if there's some recessive gene that just makes her super lame and stupid," Flash insulted there sister while she wasn't present. The two fillies shared a few laughs before finally reaching their threshold. When they trotted inside they were quite surprised to see their father sitting in front of the T.V. Sonic Blitz stared at the T.V. as the news pony rambled on about some escape prisoner.
"Hey dad, I thought you'd be at work?" Spectrum spoke up.
"Huh, oh, no I came home early to get some stuff. Apparently some pony escaped the royal prison and is on the run around Canterlot. I was put in charge for getting him back since I was the first to put him in jail. I'll be out really late., your mom will be back at the usual time," Sonic Blitz explained.
"What like ten o'clock again? Why can't ponies pick up their foals when their supposed to?" Spectrum complained.
"Heh, well working a day-care is hard work. I think she's got tomorrow off though. That's a whole Saturday you girls can spend with your mom," Sonic said while ruffling the two fillies manes.
"Rainbow got a detention today and tomorrow though," Spectrum informed her father. Blitz sighed. Rainbow always got into some sort of trouble.
"Well, I guess she just needs to keep learning her lesson."
Two hours later, Rainbow Dash's detention was finally dismissed. Rainbow trotted down the street. AS she walked through town a squawking noise followed her around. She finally turned around just about ready to scream, but soon calmed down after seeing what was annoying her. A little featherless duck thing was following her. She knelt down to meet its walled eyes.
"Uh, hey there little guy?" Rainbow greeted the naked bird. The response was another squawk. "Um, okay then?" Another squawk. Rainbow didn't know what to do. It seemed like the chicken thing was trying to show her something. It kept jumping and pointing towards an alley. "Okay okay, I'll go see whats up, jeez." Rainbow Dash tiptoed over to the dark alley, there she saw two stallions. One of them, was wearing an orange prison suit, the other was wearing a black leather jacket.
"You sure this is that scumbag's address?" the orange suited pony asked.
"Positive, Sonic Blitz lives here with his wife and I'm pretty sure he's got triplets," the other stallion said.
"Great, now one more thing. What do you have that can burn a house down?"
