Cakeria didn't seem to worry that much of the weird factory. But how could that be possible? The place was completely creepy and pretty much incomplete. But there had to be some ponies inside, smoke came out the long pipes leading inside of the Factory. I looked up in horror. I hid behind a path of cloud and shook. Cakeria was confused of my fear and walked over behind the cloud patch, "Why are you hiding?" She asked poking at my shaking body, "Something is not right… this- this is all off! Are you really going to look at me and say that Factory is not creepy? It's not even complete!" Cakeria looked at the factory, acting as if she had not even notice the other half that was just about either destroyed or being built as we speak. "Well, we are outsiders now… perhaps outsiders belong in dark and scary hidden places such as this. They are just making it for us. Perhaps they do care of where we go! But we can't be shore unless we go up to the factory and see ourselves…" She said in a confident tone of voice. I stood up and agreed. I didn't want too, but I had to now! Cakeria was completely confident that something good waited inside. She was always brave and more outgoing then I was. But you couldn't blame me, everyone always said I nothing going for my life! If only they knew what I would have become.
There was a huge door with two openings. It had no door bell, but why would it anyway? Cakeria slammed her hoof against the metal door, making a big huge banging sound. It echoed through the paths and alley ways of the factory. As she knocked I looked around noticing how there was bob wire being places around the facility. Truly this factory was still in process of being made. Then I heard the squeaky sound of the door opening, I turned around slowly as a looked up to see a pony in some kind of dark science suit stared at me. I looked up in horror, "You two! Why are you here?" he asked, "We failed are flying exams and where banished… we heard you could help us." I took am step back in fear of the large pony. He was very tall, almost as tall as Celestia maybe! "Oh I see…. Well, you came to the right place! Come right this way-"He moved over, still holding the door for us but was out of the way. Cakeria walked in as I hesitated but then she turned back and said, "Come on!" I followed her. The tall pony closed the door behind us.
As we walked down long hall ways passing closed doors I began to question where other ponies where. I only saw the one in front of us. He led us to another big door, and then he turned around and looked at us. "Even as failures, you have duties to complete and destiny to meat. I want to make this quick as possible, so when we enter this room- I hope you get what this factory is all about right off the back because I'm not answering no questions! Got it?" He yelled. we both looked at one another in confusion. But then we both shook our heads in agreement. "Good, let us enter." The pony opened the door leading us inside the room. My ears went flat at the sight! There was a banging sound in the air along with a funny smell. I was on top of a reeling, I looked down, and there were other ponies down at the bottom! But I noticed right away, I knew some of them! I had seen them before, our older classmates…. ones that have failed like me. They were in the suits like the pony behind us. Except they no mask or hoody's covering their faces. And they were doing something- dragging things on their backs- what was it that they were dragging? It was too far up to told, not with their heads in the way! "What are they doing down there?" I asked the pony looked at me annoyed and a little raged. "I told you I wouldn't answer any dumb questions! So shut the hell up! Save for some other pony…." He yelled once again. Then out of nowhere another pony entered, except this time it was a girl pony, "That is no way to treat no comers now… Hi, I'm Ammara and I will answer any questions you might have." She said with a small smile. Her mane was blue and curly and her coat was a light orange. "I have asked what is going on here." I almost yelled out, "Well… you see, this is the Rainbow Factory. Here we produce rainbows for every pony around the world! Any Rainbow you may see in the sky comes from us. But, you see, we only started this facility a few short months ago! Though we have completely the machinery for making our rainbows we still have to finish little bits of the factory itself. "Cakeria stepped forward, "We notice that outside… we also saw a new rainbow shoot from the sky! Whatever you're doing to make such beautiful rainbows really works! That rainbow was beautiful!" Cakeria complemented. "Yes, well we don't make fake rainbows here with unicorns and chemicals. We use originally blends to make the perfect and real rainbow. Though we are able to make the rainbows- we are- shorthanded here." I kept looking down at the odd figures the ponies where carrying away. "What are they carrying?" I pointed to the bottom, "We often have left overs that are unneeded for making rainbows… Our workers are simply getting rid of them. Are rainbow makers can be very- messy in process." She said oddly. Cakeria and I where led down to the bottom of the room. As we got closer I tried to make out the figured or "left overs" of the rainbows. They were grey and oddly scary looking things. I couldn't help feeling disgusted as we got closer to the bottom.
"We have both of your records, Miss Sparkle, Miss Sweet" Said the pony. Both of us looked at her with confusion, "Records? We have records?" Cakeria asked, "Of course, almost every young pony does. Miss Sweet is pretty much a talented flyer; she had a big future for her if she had not failed. However, Miss Sparkle is the same way- but she's slow and worthless! Her slow movement brings curses apron her!" "DON'T TALK ABOUT MY FRIEND LIKE THAT!" Screamed Cakeria, "My my…. Look at you! Your both perfect for the task around here! However, some have higher ranks-"Cakeria calmed down as she listened closer to the ponies words. "What kind of higher ranks?" she asked, "Well you see, you Sweet could have a very simple task that can slowly take you to the top around here. And Miss Sparkle, oh Miss Sparkle!" said the pony with enthusiasm, "You have the greatest task of all! You'll be making a rainbow!" the pony said happily. Cakeria was confused on how I got such a task. She never thought herself as being better than me. But if the pony truly did think I was worthless- then why would she assign me with such a large and important task? "Me? But—I don't know how to make a rainbow!" I said, she stood next to me and smiled, slowly guiding my steps to the right. "It's easy darling! All you have to do is—"she paused, I felt something rap around my waist then suddenly! - I was in the air and pinned to some kind of metal pillar! "Hold still…" She laughed, "What are you doing? Where is my friend going?" asked Cakeria in a very high pitched sound. "You see young pony, rainbows come from spectra, and spectra make the finest and purest of rainbows. But spectra can only be found inside the body of another pony. Like your friend here! Once the machine takes her away it wills simply such the spectra from her body." She smiled as the machine began to move up and down as if it was examining me. "But what will happen when the spectra is removed?" asked Cakeria as she poked at the pony. The pony smiled as if she was mad, then she started to laugh loudly, "HAHA! SHE'LL BE DEAD!" The pony laughed.
Cakeria began to panic, looking at me and the pony at the same time. She bent down on her back legs and begged, "NO NO! Please let her go! This is can't happen!" she begged, "Why should you care…. The pony is worthless, unwanted, unremembered and pretty much got nothing to live for. Let's just say this is her destiny!" the pony smiled, "NO! THIS IS NOT HER DESTINY! I know I'm strong…. I will work! I'll sale myself to this factory! I'll give everything I have-"Cakeria began to sob as she looked at the merciless pony. "Please, just let her live! She will work with me! We both will work! We'll give are life away forever to this factory! We will never leave or tell anyone of it! I PROMISE! JUST PLEASE LET HER GO BEFORE-"my hearted started to pound, as the machine prepped itself to stab me! This is it! This is the end for me…. At least- I'll die knowing – I made a lot of ponies smile.
"STOP THE MACHINE!" the pony yelled as I clutched my eyes ready to get stabbed. Sweat poured from my head as I bit my lip- but then- she said stop! SHE SAID STOP! "Hu?" I mumbled. "Listen here Miss Sweet; you are now a member of the rainbow factory. You may never leave the rainbow factory or say anything of the rainbow factory to any outsiders of the rainbow factory. You'll do as we say and in time- will move up the ranks- Understand? And same goes to your friend!" The pony said before turning her back on Cakeria but then another pony who heard and saw the commotion had stepped in. "Sir, the Sparkle one…. She's not like Miss. Sweet; I think we will need to send her to reconditioning." The pony stopped in her tracks and looked angrily at the male pony, "Do as you wish…. Just make shore you keep her alive! As long as Miss. Sweet knows her friend is alive- then I have some great plans for her. She will be useful for the future of this factory. Understand?" she commanded, "Yes sir! I'll recondition the pony right away sir!" The pony put his hoof across his head and pulled away. Then he ordered the machine ponies to release me. I dropped to the ground. Maidenly Cakeria ran to me and hugged me.
"Cakeria, you're not gay are you?" I asked in a silly sort of way, "OF COURSE NOT!" She yelled at me, "Then why did you do that? You basically just sold your soul to this place…. All too save my pitiful life… Why Cakeria? Why?" I demanded to know, "Because! You're my best friend and we are in this together! Friends forever! Besides-"The pony looked both ways making shore no one was watching her, then she whispered, "Just because I said I would agree- doesn't mean I meant it!" Cakeria smiled. I looked in confusion. "This place is sick Cakeria! We have too-"I tried to say but she shushed me, "Not now! Don't worry… I'll have a plan! You'll see-"
(Writers notes: Like I said not a lot of detail…. But anyway- for anyone that is wondering- we are in the beginning stages of the Rainbow Factory. Rainbow Dash has not even joined yet- but she is on her way. Don't worry about it… and I'll try to explain more as we go on for the big finish!"
