Rainbow Dash sat in a chair her hooves crossed. She was waiting for Celestia. The alicorn princess had called her to Canterlot for a special meeting. It had been a few months since she had heard about her proposal from Celestia. Those few months were helpful to her. She had already talked to Atmosphere about it and he had said that if it is allowed he'll come back and work at the Rainbow Factory. Gauge had been missing for some time after Rainbow had talked to her last. She had heard some rumors of Gauge getting drunk and dropping off the edge of Cloudsdale. But that wasn't the truth she had gone into hiding believing that all Rainbow Factory personnel were to be executed when found. Boy would she be surprised to hear Rainbow Dash on the Equestrian News station. Contrail on the other hoof, declined immediately saying that he would prefer to have a job that didn't involve death of any way. She knew that in time Contrail would come to. Then there was a knocking and the door behind Rainbow opened. In came what she had expected, Princess Celestia sat down on the other side of the table. In here golden magic aura was a large stack of papers. On the top it said effective immediately stamped across the top, and under it a long amount of typing and then under all that, were signatures. Rainbow knew what was about to happen. "As of today Rainbow Dash," she began," you have been given custody of the Pegasus Device and all personnel who sign up to work there. These papers are the signature of every single pony who has committed a crime that would usually get them life in prison. Now it gives you complete power over their life and when it is," she cleared her throat," their time to go." Rainbow was quite happy to hear this not only would she continue to make rainbows and use the Pegasus Device. She would also be ridding Equestria of criminals.

"Thank you Celestia," Rainbow bowed her head. Then she noticed Celestia pull out a small slip. She put it down in front of Rainbow Dash It read:

As of today Rainbow Dash has complete control over the Pegasus Device and over the lives of the criminals who will be dealt with immediately. If Rainbow Dash breaks rules such as to put anything other than criminal ponies in the Pegasus Device. These ponies could be any of the following, innocent bystanders , foals, or fillies. The Rainbow Factory will be shut down and the Pegasus Device destroyed. When Rainbow Dash signs this contract he/she will also be executed for treason under alicorn law if she breaks these rules.

Authorized by: Princess Celestia

Sign:________________________________

Rainbow read over it a few times looking for any loopholes out of a sticky situation. She found none and signed. The only time she would need it is if just in case a parent decides to bring a child along who somehow finds a way up to the catwalk onto the conveyor belt and into the mouth of the machine which she knows would never happen. Even then, she couldn't bear to see one more innocent foal or filly or even mare die in front of her eyes again. When she finished signing Celestia took the contract and put the signatures of every criminal who would never see another day in front of her. Rainbow didn't have a saddle bag to put the large amount of papers into.

"Um I don't have a saddle bag," she said looking at Celestia. Celestia nodded and put the papers back on the table.

"Of course well i'll make sure somepony gets you one," Celestia said. She rose and went to the door," oh and Rainbow Dash," she looked back at Rainbow," don't make me have to end up executing you." Celestia trotted out the door leaving Rainbow alone once more. She would need to get in touch with Atmosphere after she got a saddlebag for all the signatures. She picked one up and noticed that the prisoners were never told why they were signing. It wouldn't matter anyways, they were bound to die in the end after all. She set the paper back on the stack and ran her hoof through her vibrant rainbow mane. She started thinking of all the places she could go to find Gauge. Her secret basement she had constructed would be the best place to start after Celestia cuts the ribbon for the grand reopening of the Rainbow Factory. The news would either bring Gauge out of hiding or at least get Gauge a message saying that Rainbow wasn't dead and that it was safe to leave her hiding place. Hide would obviously be shocked to hear about this news but who wouldn't after the terrible things that happened there. The terrible things she had been a part of. The terrible things that ended up getting Scootaloo killed. That mare was there for 20 years. 20 years waiting for Rainbow to let her free. She hadn't and those three foals had helped her become free. Then she killed herself, Scootaloo killed herself to help Rainbow out of the problem she was having. To help Rainbow out of self conflict. If only she had gotten to say goodbye to Scootaloo. The door opened again and a lavender unicorn stepped in her mane a dark purple with lighter purple stripes. She looked quite young and beautiful for her age. She looked surprised to see Rainbow for the first time.

"Oh um is this the wrong room," her voice was so soft and yet it showed some sort of authority.

"Depends what are you doing," Rainbow asked.

"Finding a room with a pegasus who needs a saddle bag," the unicorn answered. Rainbow spread her wings with all the crooked and missing feathers.

"Oh sorry the way you were positioned just didn't give the sudden thought you were a pegasus," she said as she entered the room. She placed the saddle bag on the table and moved the papers into it. "So um what's your name," the unicorn asked.

"Rainbow Dash," she said," I was the manager of the Rainbow Factory before it was closed. And you are?"

"Twilight Sparkle," the unicorn said," i'm Princess Celestia's student. And I remember you, you were the pegasus who killed thousands of innocent foals to make rainbows." Rainbow just sat there allowing her presence to finally make Twilight realize why Rainbow was here. "Oh you're here for the reopening of the Rainbow Factory aren't you."

"Yes I am," Rainbow said. She got up and went over to Twilight," and that is why I needed the saddle bag." Twilight latched it around Rainbow's side.

"Oh of course," she said," well glad to know you've turned over a new leaf." Rainbow instantly became irritated as this was the first time anyone had said she had done it all on purpose. It was a mistake she wished she could have fixed. A mistake caused by years of technology advancements that never came until then.

"Nice, real nice Twilight," Rainbow said shoving Twilight's shoulder. She was quite surprised how firm Twilight's stance was. Twilight's face instantly became apologetic at the realization she had hurt Rainbow.

"Oh, i'm sorry I didn't know that you-" she was cut off by Rainbow who covered her mouth with one hoof.

"No I get it," Rainbow said," be the jerk. I'm trying to be the nice pony here and fix what I broke." She removed her hoof from Twilight's mouth. Twilight just turned around and trotted out the door. Rainbow soon did the same and went off towards Cloudsdale.

"Now time to talk to Atmosphere about this new development," she said to herself. All the way there she smiled. She was going back to the Rainbow Factory soon.

The bar was quiet that day, ever since she walked in the bar had been silent. She had sat down in the back of the place and was waiting for Atmosphere. He had promised to meet her here. Then through the door walked a stallion his mane graying, his coat was a dark red, and most obviously he was a pegasus. He sat down across from Rainbow and began speaking. "So it was allowed then," he asked.

"Yes Hide, yes it was," Rainbow said she put her hooves behind her head.

"Are you even sure you want to go back there," he asked.

"Yes Hide, i'm sure that I want to go back," she said," but this time we won't be killing the innocent."Hide nodded at this. It was obvious to him Rainbow wanted to go back, perhaps she really had thought this out well enough. She had found a way to make the spectra without killing the innocent and be loyal to Cloudsdale and the rest of Equestria.

"When is the grand reopening," Hide asked.

"A few months from now," she said," but we need workers. I need you to get propaganda going. A few posters advertising the new cause would be nice." Once again Hide nodded. She really was being careful with how she was dealing with this. Slowly and carefully.

"And what about Contrail and Gauge," Hide asked.

"Gauge will be listening to the radio. I know she will. Contrail doesn't want to help with this though. But I know he will eventually."

"What do I put on these propaganda posters though," Hide asked.

"Rainbow Factory grand reopening," she started with an announcer voice," manager looking for brave souls who will come work in the Rainbow Factory. Contact the following for more information. Then under it you put Rainbow Dash, Hide Atmosphere, and Gauge."

"Anything else," he asked.

"And on the back put a description of what will be new about what will be happening in the building," Rainbow added. Hide nodded and looked around.

"Weren't you expecting anypony else," he asked.

"No, like I said Gauge is in hiding and Contrail will not be helping us as of now," she answered sternly.

"Of course sorry Rainbow Dash. I didn't think I was the only one you were going to have here," he said.

"Please Hide just call me Ms. Dash," she said.

"Already,Rainbow you aren't my boss anymore," he said shaking his head.

"As of now, yes I am Hide," she said as she brought her hooves from behind her head," and you will call me Ms. Dash. That is until I get married."

"That is if you get married," he said. Rainbow suddenly had the realization that no one would marry an insane mare like her and then she smacked Hide across the face. She hit him so hard a drop of blood came out his left nostril.

"Oh, i'm so sorry Hide I didn't mean to make you bleed," she said grabbing a napkin from the holder.

"No it was my fault Dash," he said placing it against his nose," I shouldn't have said you wouldn't get married. Perhaps during the reopening of the new and improved Rainbow Factory you'll meet your special somepony."

"Yeah right Hide, as if anypony would want to marry a mad mare," she said tapping the side of her head with her hoof.

"I'm sure there are plenty of stallions out there who would love an interesting mare like yourself," Hide said," you just need to find that stallion."

"Alright Hide I get it," she said getting up," I need to go. There are so many more things to do before the reopening."

"Alright see you soon, Dash," Hide said as Rainbow trotted off. Hide didn't quite understand why Rainbow Dash was so glad but he just rolled with it. "What could go wrong with a plan like hers," Hide said to himself. He then got up and trotted out the door.
