The Quest For The Past
Chapter 28: Sonic Rainboom Part 4
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI was practicing transmutation back in my hotel room. I'd pretty much calmed down since the weather factory but I was still a bit pissed. Hopefully I won't see that bitch for a whi- There was a knock at the door. Does jinxing myself really have to happen that fast? I stopped what I was doing and answered the door. Unsurprisingly, it was Rainbitch and Twilight. Rainbitch looked worried about something but Twilight looked determined.
"Cloud, we need to talk to you," Twilight strongly stated.
"Fine," I replied, "let's just get this over with." The two entered and sat on the floor next to the bed. "Well?"
"Rainbow Dash has some things that she needs to say to you. Don't interrupt her or say anything until she's finished."
"Sure, whatever." Rainbitch stood up.
"Cloud," she started, "I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. I tried to catch you but you honestly did cast the spell before I could. I thought it would be awkward to talk about since we were arguing earlier that day so I just didn't say anything. The second time, well..." She gulped. "N-Nightmare Moon has always been one of my worst nightmares, and I was seeing her up close in real life.
"Not only that, but you were fighting her. And winning! I was so shocked when you beat her that I couldn't react fast enough to catch you and when I finally got the chance to try I was too slow. I couldn't face you to apologize afterwards so I pretended that it never happened. I pretended to hate you, which was wrong and I'm sorry.
"When I attacked you for attacking Gilda I didn't know what she'd done and I thought you were attacking her for no reason. I was trying to defend her as a friend but later that day Pinkie threw a party for her and she showed her true colours. Then I had even more reason to apologize to you. I went to the library afterwards to finally say sorry for everything, but you weren't inside. Then I..." Rainbitch broke eye contact and stared at the floor. "I chickened out. I kept giving you trouble for the stupidest of reasons, and you never deserved that.
"You saved the whole world, you stopped a bitch from bullying Fluttershy, you beat yourself in a fight to protect us, you helped Applejack's sister with life lessons, you saved Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie, Spike and Fluttershy from a hydra and you worked really hard to get the others here to support me. And through all of that, I still act like a bitch. Your nickname for me is pretty fitting for how I've treated you.
"There's no way anypony could ever repay you for what you've done, but I just want you to know that I'm really, really sorry." She started crying gently. "I'll understand if you never forgive me..." The room went silent. Well, that happened. Should I forgive her? Should I finally end this feud? I sighed. Yes. It's time for this to end. I hugged Rainbow Dash.
"I've been a dick to you about as much as you've been a bitch to me, so we can call it even now. I forgive you." Rainbow hiccuped.
"Seriously?!"
"Seriously." Rainbow returned the hug. A few seconds passed and the hug became slightly awkward. We broke out of the hug. "So... When does the competition start?" Twilight suddenly looked panicked.
"Oh no!" Twilight exclaimed, "it's starting in ten minutes! We won't have time to-" I quickly teleported us to outside the Cloudeseum. "Oh."
"Thanks, Cloud," said Rainbow, "I'll see you two later!" In a second she was gone, leaving me and Twilight to find our seats.
It was finally time for Rainbow's performance. Loud rock music blasted out of speakers as she burst into the Cloudeseum. After one quick lap around the perimeter, she began to slalom between cloud pillars. Finishing that, she flew upward towards some clouds and few around them fast enough to make them spin. The crowd liked it so far.
Finally, she flew up into the sky before rocketing back down, creating a cone of resistance. The cone became thinner and thinner until what was blatantly a sonic rainboom exploded out of her butt. Rainbow led a trail of rainbows across the top of the stadium, making the audience go wild.
All in all, not a bad day.

I know this one is shit and everyone seems a bit OOC but there was no way for me to write a decent version of this.
I hate writer's block.
