Rainbow Dash has never been what you would call a crying mare.

She didn’t even cry as she walked back into her cloud-made house after she broke up. Her first coltfriend was a strong, muscular stallion named Tesla Spark. But that was years ago, back to when Dash was still in Cloudsdale Flight School, so she didn’t recall a lot of events. She recalled that Tesla had once said to her that he could forgive her for not crying at his grandfather’s wedding. Since she only knew him for around a few months, and so couldn’t understand what a sincere and giving stallion he had been. But the truth is that not crying is part of Dash’s personality, she can’t feel her emotions. After a few months of going out, they eventually broke up. Rainbow didn’t recall why, but he went up to her one day and said sorry to her, and then the next day he left her. The last time Dash saw the stallion, she found that he has already found another mare. A few weeks later, Dash dropped out of Cloudsdale Flight School.

Dash proceeded to Ponyville to take on her job as weather control, and has kept that job ever since. A few months ago that she had made some true friends. They were friends that value each other, friends that treat each other equally, friends that were always there when somepony needed them. The first of the friends that she knew was this purple pony named Twilight Sparkle, who was a bookworm. Most of the purple pony’s schedule was taken up by reading. Dash always used to dislike reading, but that has changed recently.  The moment Dash became friends with those mares will never be forgotten, the memory was still fresh on her mind.

Six months ago...

Rainbow Dash was practising her usual daily routine, which is performing stunts. The reason for her performing in stunts is because she hopes to join the Wonderbolts one day. They were a group of some of the best fliers in Equestria, and she longed to be with them. The blue Pegasus freely through the air, speeding one way and the next, buzzing the treetops and racing the wind.  Dash was well known around the town of Ponyville, and also much respected by the younger fillies, they simply admire the Pegasus’ speed and agility. She climbed several hundred metres, and then dove downwards, going at least a hundred kilometres per hour. Seconds before hitting the ground, she, her wings flew open and she pulled back up into the air. She was flying only a few metres off ground as she noticed a purple unicorn in front of her. She was going at such high speed that she failed to stop and crashed into her, and they landed in a heap in a puddle of mud from the recent rains.

Dash chuckled and turned around to face the mud-soaked figure of the unicorn “Uhhh……Excuse me?” said Dash, with a smile on her face “Let me help you” And with that, she dashed away in search of a cloud, she kicked it with her rear hooves. Dash has the ability to force lightning and rain out of clouds; she turned the white, fluffy cloud into a rain-cloud and put it over the unicorn. Dash then jumped on the rain cloud, which forced the rain out of the cloud. But that only seemed to make matters worse;  she had completely soaked the unicorn’s mane, which had changed her hairstyle completely. The unicorn had a look of annoyance on her face. Dash smiled sheepishly and said “Uhhhhh…….Oh! How about this?”  Dash was an agile pony, and she circled Twilight with blinding speed, which created a curtain of rainbow around her. Nopony was sure how it really works, but it somehow dries the pony that is inside it, everypony called it the “rainblow dry”.  “No, no. Don’t thank me, you’re quite welcome” But when she looked at the unicorn, she can’t help but burst out laughing.  Her Rainblow Dry had puffed up Twilight’s mane, which made her look slightly stupid. Dash fell onto the ground laughing, tears were streaming from her eyes, and she hadn’t laughed this hard in ages now.  Spike had the exact same reaction when he saw her mentor.

“Let me guess, you’re Rainbow Dash” said Twilight

“The one and only” replied Dash “Why? You heard of me?”

“I heard your supposed to be keeping the sky clear” Dash looked at her questioningly, her eyes clearly asking Who are you? “My name is Twilight Sparkle, the princess sent me to check on the weather”  Twilight said simply.

“Yeah. Yeah. That’ll be a snap. I’ll do it in a jiffy” Dash said as she got herself into a comfortable position on a cloud. “Just as soon as I’m done practising”

“Practising for what?”

“The Wonderbolts!”  Replied Dash “They’re gonna perform at the celebration tomorrow. And I’m gonna show’em my stuff”

“The Wonderbolts?” asked Twilight “The most talented fliers in all of Equestria?”

“That’s them”

Twilight chuckled “Please, they’ll never accept a Pegasus who can’t even keep the sky clear for one day” , Jackpot, what have you got to say now, eh? Rainbow? Thought Twilight.

“Hey, I can clear these skies in ten seconds flat”

“Prove it” Dash looked down at her, unblinking. Wow, she obviously doesn’t know me. She’s definitely a newcomer. She decided that she will show this unicorn her true capabilities. She lunged towards the nearest cloud and kicked it, which disintegrated it instantly and moved on to the next one with lightning speed. In ten seconds she has cleared the skies of all clouds, the sun shined brightly in the sky, warming everything it touches.

Twilight was dumbstruck; she had never seen anypony with the ability to go at such high speed. “What’d I say? Ten seconds flat, I never leave Ponyville hangin” Twilight was stunned, she was still facing skyward, Dash’s speed was too fast for Twilight’s eyes to follow her. Dash chuckled as she noticed their reactions. “You should see the looks on your faces”  said Rainbow “You’re a laugh, Twilight Sparkle, I can’t wait to hang out with you”  And with that, she ascended into the sky once again.

Rainbow Dash would never forget that day. The day that she made those friends, the following night Pinkie Pie threw a surprise party at Twilight’s house. She dashed up into her bedroom; Pinkie said that she was “overjoyed that she was making friends”. But Dash thought otherwise, she thought that she was the shy type, much like Fluttershy. The bright moonlight shined down on Dash, the streets of Ponyville is empty, but would be crowded with ponies the next day. She didn’t want to wake up late, so she decided to go to sleep. She flew to her cloud-made home, floating a few metres above ground.
