Chapter 3: Like Mother, Like Daughter Part 1

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Rainbow Dash paid for a soda she had gotten from a pizza place and walked over to where the tables were, looking for a seat. While searching, she felt her cellphone buzz. She angrily fished it out her pocket and answered it. "What?!"

"Now is that any way to greet your mother?" A voice on the other line answered.

"Mom?!" Rainbow asked incredulously. She hadn't heard from her in months. She wondered what prompted a call like this. Her mother never usually called unless she wanted something. Which was always.

"That’s ex-Wonderbolt Firefly to you." Her mother responded.

"Mom I'm not calling you by your name." Dash deadpanned.

"Good. Then I won't call you that atrocious name you came up with, Jennifer." Her mother retorted.

"Do all our conversations have to start like this?" Dash groaned as she sat down at a empty table in the food court.

"You're the one who starts it."

"Who's the parent here?" Dash asked.

“Touche. Listen, I’m in town and I was wondering if I could stop by to see you. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you.” Her mother explained, sighing a bit.

“What?! Today?!” Dash barked, coughing on her soda.

“Yes, did I not make myself clear?” Her mother asked.

“N-No, you did, it’s just....” She had to lie. She just had to. She was going through some things she really didn’t need her pushy mother poking her nose into everything. “I’m busy.” She finished.

“Busy? With what? You dropped out of college. Don’t think I didn’t hear about that.” Her mother scoffed. Dash could almost see her mother rolling her eyes on the other side of the line.

“How did you-”

“I have my resources.” Her mother replied, cutting her off. “Besides, this will be a nice opportunity to meet your friends.”

“Oh joy.” She grumbled, rolling her eyes. The last thing she needed right now was her mother meeting everyone. Not that she didn’t want her to, but with the way things were going now...it was bad timing, and she didn’t want her mother to make things worse.

“Fix that tone, missy. I can still ground you.”

“I’m nineteen, Mom.”

“I don’t care.”

Dash sighed. This clearly wasn’t going anywhere and she didn’t want to stay on the phone with her any longer. “Fine, you can stop by and meet my friends. We’re all gonna be at the Oak Tree Library at three.” She wasn’t usually one to cave when it came to her mother, but her patience was running thin.

“Alright. I’ll see you then. And make sure you look presentable, young lady.” And with that, the line went dead. Rainbow hung up herself, then got up, bringing her soda with her. She might as well find everyone now and warn them of what was to come.


"How did we get on the topic of this?" Dash groaned with two fingers pressed against her temple. After the pleasant talk on the phone she had with her mother, she was able to locate her friends at the burger joint- right in the middle of a conversation about sex.

"I'm just saying. I'm into some freaky shit." Pinkie admitted, shrugging. "A party girl like me has to be." She swung her arms absentmindedly behind her on the back of the chair, while tipping it up as she drank her milkshake from a crazy straw.

Twilight rolled her eyes. "You're pansexual. You being a party girl has nothing to do with it." She corrected her, sipping on her soda and putting the book she was reading down temporarily on the table. "Besides, how freaky can one girl get?"

"Stay at my place for a night and you'll find out." Pinkie said flirtatiously, winking at her.

Twilight blushed. "Curse my stupid bisexuality." She grumbled, turning away from her and picking up her book again.

"But what about Dashie?!" Pinkie asked, fully aware that the girl in question was right in front of her. "We don't know anything about her sexuality! She was hiding those huge knockers! She could be hiding that too!"

Applejack laughed, taking a bite out of her burger. "Trust me sug, Dash's preference ain't such a mystery." She glanced at the girl, smirking.

"Are you insinuating that I'm not straight, you redneck hick?" Dash challenged, glaring at her from across the table.

"Ah don't know, Speedy, you tell me." The farm girl responded, smirking even more, now knowing that she had pressed the right button. She returned the stare confidently, folding her arms over the back of the chair since she had flipped it around.

“There’s nothing more rude than speculating someone else’s sexuaility, Applejack.” Rarity scolded, daintily wiping her mouth. She turned to the farm girl and added, “You have no room to talk. Especially when you’re the one always coming to me for advice.”

“Advice on what?!” Pinkie shouted excitedly, slamming her chair back down on the ground. The sudden movement made the other girls and many other by standards to jump. She never was one to be considerate of others when it came to her antics.

“Nothin’.” Applejack grumbled in response, her leverage over Rainbow Dash clearly lost. “Nothin’ at all.” She added, frowning and turning away from the seamstress.

Satisfied with her retort, Rarity went back to her salad. Dash grinned at Applejack, who sent a happily conceived double middle finger. Dash shrugged. She shouldn’t have started something that she couldn’t finish. Especially when the other girls in the group had something on her.

Fluttershy pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. She was flustered, talking about these kinds of subjects always made her a little wary. Not that she didn’t know anything on the subject, but if her friends found out about the things she’s done and imagined...she didn’t think that they’d be friends with her much longer.

“What about you, Fluttershy? What’s your sexuality?” Twilight asked, turning to her.

“Eep!” Fluttershy jumped from having all the attention shifted onto her. “Um, I’m sorry, what was the question again?” she whispered nervously, hiding behind her hair.

“What’s your sexuality? Are you into girls or guys, or both? Or do you have a weird turn on?” Twilight repeated, making it simpler for her to answer.

“Uh, I uh,” She struggled, looking at Dash for help.

Dash knew what Fluttershy was into unfortunately, and judging by the scared look on her face, she knew she had only about five seconds to save her before she ran out the door crying. “She’d rather not say.” She said for her.

Fluttershy nodded wildly.

Twilight looked a little confused. “Uh, okay.”

Dash looked at her watch to see it was two thirty. She cursed under her breath. She had spent all that time listening to them that she almost forgot the reason why she had went out of her way to find them. “Uh, you guys?” She said, grabbing all of their attentions. She tried not to look worried, but apparently she was terribly bad at it.

“What’s wrong, darling?” Rarity asked concerned, putting a hand on her wrist.

“Well, ah, you see...my mom wants to meet you all.” She confessed, chuckling anxiously. “Like today. At three.”

Silence fell upon them, until Pinkie broke it with the outburst of, “She has parents?!”

“No Pinkie, she was born out of magic.” Twilight snipped sarcastically. Sometimes she really wondered if Pinkie had something seriously wrong with her.

“Why is her comin’ such a bother for ya?” Applejack asked.

“Cause she’s kind of...well....I can’t explain it. You guys just have to see for yourselves.” Dash said, getting up. “C’mon. We gotta leave now if we’re gonna meet her on time.” she sighed unhappily.

The other girls shared a look of disbelief before getting up themselves. Dash’s emotions confused them. Wasn’t someone supposed to be happy to see their mother? Most importantly when it seemed like they haven’t seen them in a while? But then they remembered, unfortunately, like Pinkie, some parents were abusive and not the best parents.

“Is your dad comin’ with ‘er?” Applejack asked, watching the rainbow haired girl walk out first, then held the door as everyone followed before walking out herself.

Dash snorted. “Don’t even get me started on that asshole.” She grunted, slamming her passenger side door. The others took that as a sign to not ask anymore questions. Everyone else got in, trying not to give their friend pitiful looks.

The ride back to the library was quiet and albeit a bit awkward. What had been a fun afternoon at the mall, had turned into a look into Dash’s past. No one in the group except for Fluttershy knew the more personal aspects of her life, and it didn’t seem like she wanted to share any of it either. Not that she could anyway. It was Rainbow Dash’s personal life, not her’s.

Once they got there, they saw a black mustang parked in front. Applejack turned the car off. Everyone looked back at Dash, who was staring distractedly out the window, barely noticing that they had stopped.

“Uh, Da-”

“Let’s just get this over with.” Dash grumbled, cutting Applejack off. She got out the car, the others soon following. When they got out, a woman got out of the mustang. She was a tall, curvaceous woman, with a chest that could rival Celestia’s, and tan skin that matched her daughter’s. She had long scruffy blue hair that was tied back into a ponytail. The crisp and clean business suit she wore contradicted her wild colored hair, and the smirk on her face confirmed that she was indeed Rainbow’s mother.

“What’s the matter, squirt? Arent ya gonna introduce me to your friends?” She asked. Her voice was just as raspy and brazen as her daughter’s, making the other girls believe that they were one in the same.

Dash winced at the nickname. “Sure.” She choked out, begrudgingly.

“Wowie zow wow! No wonder Dashie has the banging bod she has! Her mommy’s a total hottie! Ow!” Pinkie blurted, whistling, then cringed when all four girls behind her slapped her right arm.

“Mom, this is Pinkie, Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, and you already know Flutters.” Dash introduced dully pointing to each girl with a limp finger.

Dash’s mother took off her Ray-Bans and gave the group a welcoming smile. “Hey. I’m Firefly.”

Pinkie gasped. “Firefly?! As in the Firefly?! One of the best Wonderbolts to ever grace the team before Spitfire?!” She bubbled, waving her arms. The other girls rolled their eyes. Of course, she would know that.

Firefly nodded. “Yep. The one and only. Betcha Dashie never told you she came from money.” She gave a sidelong glance at her daughter, who was contemplating whether she should kill her or herself.

“No, she did not. And from such a famous mother too.” Rarity commented, envious. Rainbow was sitting on money while she had to work for her dream of becoming a famous fashion designer. It simply wasn’t fair! She wondered if she had any brothers...

“Did anyone ever tell you that you’re like, really hot?!” Pinkie asked, somehow moving from the side of the car to in front of Firefly in a matter of second.

Firefly laughed. “Plenty of times.”

“Down, girl.” Twilight said, pushing Pinkie to sit on the asphalt beneath them. “Hi, Ms. Firefly. My name is Twilight Sparkle. And this horny little twit is Pinkie Pie. Though I wouldn’t have worded it in such a lewd way, I must say you are...um, very attractive.”

“Be careful Twilight, your gay is showing.” Pinkie giggled looking up at her.

Twilight clamped a hand over the baker’s mouth. “I’m sorry for, uh, her.” She apologized.

Firefly chuckled. “It’s cool. It’s not like I haven’t been told that before. Besides, you girls aren't too bad yourselves.” She winked at them, Twilight letting out a little squeal. “Ya hear that, Dashie? Your friends seem to think I’m hot.”

“Mom, stop hitting on my friends.” Rainbow deadpanned.

“Oh come now, where’s the fun in that?” Firefly asked, giving Twilight a flirtatious look. Twilight unconsciously bit her lip. “I think they're pretty cute.”

“Mom, seriously. It’s weirding me out.” Dash’s protests fell on deaf ears. Like they always did.

Fluttershy waved to the older woman. “H-Hi. Ms. Firefly.” she greeted quietly.

“Fluttershy. Hey. It’s nice to see you again. I see you’ve grown up quite a bit since I last saw you. You’re legal, right?”

“Mom!”

“I’m kidding, I’m kidding.” Firefly said, waving her embarrassment off. “Jeez, don’t be a hardass.”

“You-”

“I must say,” Rarity purposely cut Rainbow Dash off., who sent her a glare and folded her arms defiantly, “It’s a rare occasion to met a celebrity like you, Ms. Firefly. What were you doing that caused you to visit our small town?” If she could get some information out of her, she could get on her good side, and what came with that were connections, endorsements, possible A-list clients, and a chance for one of her dresses to be worn to a red carpet event. She simply could not pass this up!

“I was out here on a business trip. I was actually on my way to Manehattan for a conference. I just thought I’d stop by to say hi to my baby girl.” The older woman responded.

“Ya hear that, Dash? She really seems ta care about ya.” Applejack shouted in her direction.

“Yeah, I think I’m gonna go inside.” Dash deadpanned. She walked past everyone and into the library, slamming the door behind her.

“Well.” Firefly said, smoothing out her suit jacket. “Things are off to a great start.”
