The streets were crowded with the curious ponies and radio teams. Waiting to hear about the reopening. Rainbow looked out a window at the crowd. So many ponies all came here for the same reason. The Rainbow Factory, and what was to change. Of course they would know but at least it was safer than hiding it all away. Celestia knocked on the door and poked her head in. "We are ready to start," Celestia said.

"Yeah I know," Rainbow said. She smiled knowing that the first drops of spectra from that machine was soon. She turned around and trotted out the door. This would be her first public speech in a long time. She had written everything down on a piece of paper she had set on the announcement podium. That way just in case she forgot something she could look at the paper. As the front doors to the castle opened every noise was drowned out by the cheering of thousands. At the podium's side were two guard ponies. At the stairs leading to the podium were two other alicorns and Twilight Sparkle. One of the alicorns had a deep purple coat, with a mane that looked like the starry night sky. She was smaller than Celestia but her stature showed she was an alicorn you wish to not mess with. Rainbow knew that alicorn to well. Luna, the pony who had haunted Rainbow's dreams for months now. The other alicorn had a pink coat. Her mane was a mixture of bright vibrant colors. One stripe was yellow then the next a pink then to a purple. Her feathers had purple tips and she looked quite young. Rainbow didn't know the alicorns name. She would ask after the announcement. Celestia walked up the steps with Rainbow following behind. Rainbow heard booing as she became visible. They had probably thought the Rainbow Factory would be getting a new manager.

"Please calm down," Celestia said in her royal announcing voice. Even at it's loudest Celestia's voice was still soothing. "I understand some of you are upset knowing that Rainbow Dash will be taking control of the Rainbow Factory once more, but I have made a deal with Rainbow Dash involving the criminals of Equestria. It may sound bad but trust me. Even all of you make deals to rid your mind of something. Well I want to get rid of any criminal sentenced to life in prison. That way we will continue to have room in our prisons. I promise you we have a contract that ensures that your children and you all are safe." Celestia backed away and nodded to Rainbow to walk to the podium. Rainbow put her hooves on the podium and spoke.

"When I had been chosen for the job as manager we already had been doing what was revealed such a long time. Now I have made a small proposal to Celestia. I will not be using innocent ponies young or old. Only criminals all over Equestria."

"Then why aren't you killing yourself yet," a voice yelled from the crowd. Then the rest of the crowd started thinking the same.

"Well, because Celestia never had me sign anything. I read the contract very thoroughly nothing in there about it. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. I want to think of this as the start of a new era for the Rainbow Factory. No more loved ones dying. I hope that in time you can forgive me." Rainbow stepped down from the podium. Celestia moved back to the podium.

"The cutting of the ribbon will take place outside the weather facility. If you are interested do arrive there in the next hour. Good day to all of you." Celestia dismissed the two guards and walked down from the podium. The crowd started to dissolve into an everyday time in Canterlot. Celestia signaled for Rainbow to come over by her and the other alicorns. Rainbow approached and the pink one spoke first.

"Hello my name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. But you can call me Cadence," the alicorn said holding out her hoof. Rainbow carefully raised her hoof and grabbed Cadence's. The Cadence shook her hoof ever so slightly to indicate a hoofshake. Rainbow followed through and they shook hooves. Twilight stood there playing with her mane waiting for the alicorns to finish talking to Rainbow.

"My names Rainbow Dash," Rainbow said.

"Yes I know i've heard quite the terrible stories about what you've done. Thankfully you found another way. And a more justifying way. I think," Cadence said with a questioning look on her face.

"Well I think it is smart knowing she could help herself to such a plentiful resource. I hope that spectra isn't changed by the behavior of the pegasi, because then I think the rainbows would look darker than usual," Luna said making her presence more noticeable.

"Yes it really is quite interesting how a pegasus who locked herself away for 25 whole years watching as foal after foal died in that machine came up with such an idea," Twilight said cutting in. With haste she tried her best to make it look like she had just blurted it out and had not tried to make it sound so harsh.

"Twilight?! Why would you say something like that," Celestia said giving Twilight a stern look.

"I'm sorry princess," Twilight bowed her head and went back to playing with her mane.

"I hope to see you at the ribbon cutting Rainbow Dash," Celestia said. She then spread her wings and followed by Cadence and Luna flew off towards the weather facility. It was finally the day, today was the first day of a new beginning in the Rainbow Factory. Rainbow soon followed suit. She knew she wanted to get a look at the machine before the ribbon cutting.

Rainbow looked at the machine. It had been months since she had touched it. The boards were freshly dusted thanks to Hide coming and cleaning up for the occasion. She thought about all the different pony colors she would find in batch one. Possibly quite the selection of colors. Everyone had a different color of spectra inside. She rubbed her hoof on the status screen. She would be using this quite soon, so soon. She turned around and trotted out the door and back into the elevator. She hit the button and the door closed. When the elevator doors opened again she trotted forward and out the entrance of the weather facility. Very few pegasi had shown up. Most of them being reporters. As Celestia looked around she nodded to Spitfire and the Wonderbolts went off to prepare for the ribbon cutting fly over. Celestia waited a few minutes before speaking.

"Thank you all for coming to this prestigious event. From this day forth the Rainbow Factory is now open to the public." And at that the Wonderbolts flew over head and Celestia cut the ribbon. For those few months Rainbow was waiting excitedly. At this the reporters wrote down their perspective and flew off. The event wasn't as big, but she knew that the celebration with her new employees would make up for that. Rainbow walked back inside and headed towards the elevator to take her back up. She needed to make sure the Pegasus Device stilled functioned properly. The elevator door opened and she went over to the controls. She flipped a switch and the Pegasus Device sputtered to life. The loud banging of pistons and the wind flowing through the pumps sending nothing to the spectra delivery system. When that first delivery truck arrived with the prisoners the first few drops of spectra from the machine would be made. She had waited so long and now the wait was over.
