Chapter three: Questions and Meetings

"But, I don't understand, I don't have any siblings my Dad told me," Rainbow Dash said, putting a hoof to her head. "Well, our Mother gave you up when you were little, our Mom couldn't get rid of me so she had a foal sitter take care of me up until now. She sent me here to look for you, I swear it's true," Dark Beat explained. "But why would she want to get rid of us? Who is she? I have so many questions, my head hurts," Rainbow said, sitting down with a hoof on her forehead. "She didn't have the time to take care of us, she was too busy with her work, as for who she is, I can't tell you," Beat said. The earth pony and unicorn stood looking at the alicorn and Pegasus answer and ask questions. "Why can't you tell me who she is?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, she wants to explain herself, I don't know when she will get the courage to, but she'll get around to it," Beat said. The music shop was silent, no pony new what to do. "You're an alicorn so my Mother must be an alicorn, right?" Rainbow asked, skeptically, breaking the silence that was upon the shop. "Well, um yes, but I won't tell you which one," Beat said, sternly. "Well I can cross out Twilight because she was born around the same time as me, Luna is too young and was banished when I was born, Cadence and Celestia are the only options left," Rainbow Dash murmured. Beat looked at Rainbow with fright. "Stop being an egghead! Our Mother wouldn't want to know you found out!" Beat exclaimed. "You can see the sibling connection now," the white unicorn whispered to the grey earth pony. The earth pony nodded. "I'm not an egghead!" Rainbow Dash said, feeling offended. "Well you will be if you figure it out!" Beat snapped, not wanting Rainbow to figure out her parentage. "Sorry!" Rainbow said, lightly. "It's fine," Beat said. "Well d'ya wanna meet my friends?" Rainbow asked. Beat nodded even though she knew she met some of them. She'd like to see them again. "But d'you have fifty bits?" Beat asked, laughing nervously. Dash just smiled.

After they saw Fluttershy, Twilight, and Rarity (who was a awake and well) they headed off to Sweet Apple Acres, to meet a pony named Applejack or Rainbow said that was her name. They got to a red barn surrounded by fields of healthy apple trees. An orange earth pony was bucking apple trees, sweat poring down her face. She had a blond ponytail for a tail and mane. Her cutiemark was three red apples. She had a Stetson hat on her head. Dark Beat had gotten some new black headphones and put them around her neck, so she could listen to what the ponies had to say. "Hey, AJ!" Rainbow Dash called to the earth pony. The earth pony came over to Rainbow Dash and Dark Beat. "Hello RD, what brings you here at a time like this?" The earth pony asked. Rainbow Dash gestured to Dark Beat. "She's my long lost little sister or something," Rainbow said, rolling her eyes. The earth pony was about to say something when Beat said, "more like you were lost! You didn't even know about being adopted!"

"Pfft, yeah right at least my adoptive Dad took care of me!" Rainbow Dash said. The earth pony was about to say something when Beat cut in, again. "Well our Mom was busy with her royal duties! She tried to give me away, but no pony wanted me!"

"Yeah maybe that's because you look like Queen Chrysalis!" Rainbow Dash said into Beat's face. Dark Beat stumbled before she sat down. Rainbow had crossed the line of no return. Beat closed her eyes trying to hold her tears in. "Th-that's because . . . ," that was all Beat could muster. The earth pony looked up at Rainbow Dash. "See now look at what ya've done, ya made 'er cry," the earth pony said, glaring at Rainbow. Beat was crying, how could she get around it. Ponies have been telling she was different from the very start. They called her evil and criticized her. "That's because Queen Chrysalis is my - she's our Dad," Beat whispered through sobs. Rainbow had a shocked expression on her face and the earth pony looked the same. "But what?" Rainbow asked. "How is that even possible?"

"I don't know, Mom told me that she was forced, I - ponies have called me evil since I was born, everypony I met. That's why our Mom only had nice maids and she never announced me to the world," Beat said, sniffing. Rainbow sat down on her flank in disbelief. "I-I had no idea," Rainbow whispered. "You seemed so calm and collected, I guess."

"Well that's because everypony in Ponyville wasn't calling me evil, the first pony to do so here was pretty much you," Beat couldn't help, but chuckle. Rainbow laughed too. "Yeah, sorry 'bout that," Rainbow said. "Well like Ah was tryin' ta say," the earth pony said. "Ah'm Applejack, who're you?"

"Oh I'm Dark Beat. Or if you like being professional Princess Dark Beat at your service, ahem, I hate that line," Dark said. Applejack chuckled. "Ya'll don't have to get professional on meh," Applejack said. "Good," Dark Beat smiled. "APPLEJACK! WHERE D'YA WANT THESE APPLES?!" A voice shouted. A yellow filly came out with a load of apples on her back. She had a red mane and tail, with a bow in her mane. She had no cutiemark just like Dark Beat. Her eyes were pink that faded into orange. "Put those apples down an' come over here," Applejack told the little filly. The filly put down the apples and came over there and saw Rainbow Dash and Dark Beat. "Who is she?" The filly asked Applejack. "Applebloom meet Dark Beat, Dark Beat meet mah little sister, Applebloom."

"Oh hello, I'm Princess Dark Beat and I'm only using the Princess thing because I don't want to get anypony confused by me being an alicorn," Dark Beat said. "Princess? You're a Princess?" Applebloom asked. Dark Beat nodded her head. "But so ain't Rainbow Dash, who's my big sister," Dark Beat said. Applebloom's eyes widened. "What, but Ah thought Rainbow's Dad was an ordinary Pegasus," Applebloom said. "So did I," Rainbow said with an annoyed expression on her face. "Wow that's so excitin'!" Applebloom exclaimed. "Will Dark be goin' ta school here?"

"Yes, Dark Beat is going to live with me," Rainbow Dash confirmed. "And she will go to school."

Rainbow looked smugly at her little sister. Beat glared at her elder sister. "I hate you already," Beat said, jokingly, but with a serious face. "Hehe, yeah well get used to it, can you fly?" Rainbow asked. "I can't fly or do magic, I've never tried nor cared much about it," Beat said truthfully. "What? Not caring much about flying?" Rainbow asked. "What kinda monster are you?"

"The one who's Dad is evil," Beat said. "I'm gonna teach you to fly and I'm sure Twilight wouldn't mind teaching you for magic and stuff," Rainbow declared. "Well see ya later Applejack, we've still gotta meet Pinkie Pie."

Dark Beat and Rainbow Dash went into what was called, Sugarcube Corner. They were met with a pink face that had blue eyes. She was a pink earth pony with a dark pink mane and tail that was curly and bouncy. Her cutiemark was two blue balloons and a yellow one in the middle. "Hey Pinkie Pie, this is my little sister, Dark Beat or Princess Dark Beat as to not confuse anypony," Rainbow said to the pink earth pony. Now named, Pinkie Pie, looked at Beat. "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie and I'm one of Dashie's best friends!" Pinkie squealed happily. She gasped dramatically. "You know what this calls for?!" Pinkie asked. "Lemme guess, a party?" Dashie asked. "How did you know?! Are you a spy?!" Pinkie asked. "No, Pinkie, I'm not a spy," Rainbow said. "Party? Can I do some music? I've made some awesome jams!" Beat exclaimed. "That would be awesome!" Pinkie squealed. "I'd love to hear some new music!"

"That would be so cool!" Rainbow Dash agreed.
