5 years later...

The next few years were great, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were living very happy with their daughter Snowflake. And this year Snowflake was finally going to school. Not so excited about this was Rainbow Dash, she was very protective of her daughter, and because she was blind made her even more cautious. She protected the entire house from any kind of accident, Snowflake's room was protected with several clouds to prevent her from getting hurt. Soarin thought his wife was exaggerating a lot about Snowflake's blindness, but she always said she was just protecting her baby.

"Snowflake!" Rainbow Dash called his daughter downstairs.

"I'm leaving, mommy!" Snowflake said as he tried to go downstairs. Rainbow Dash then flew over to her and caught her in her hooves.

"Here let me help you," she said as she placed Snowflake on the couch.

"What do you want to tell me? Did I do something wrong?" Snowflake said

"No, your dad and I have been talking a lot and .... We decided it's time for you to start attending school" Rainbow Dash said

"A school?" Snowflake said

"Yes, it will be great for you, you can learn new things and the best you can make some friends!" Soarin said

Snowflake stopped for a second

"Do I really have to go? I don't know if it's going to be very good for someone like me ..." Snowflake said lowering his ears.

"Why not Cute Pie?" Soarin said

"Well you know ... I'm not like the other foals, and I don't know if they will like me ..." Snowflake said

Rainbow Dash then leaned toward her daughter and hugged her.

"Don't worry darling, you'll be fine, plus I'm sure it'll be really cool, and the aunts' children study there, I'm sure some of them will want to be your friend" Rainbow Dash said in a tone candy

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I do"

"OK then..."

"Great!"

Rainbow Dash was in the bedroom talking to Soarin about Snowflake attending school, and she honestly wasn't happy about the idea of her baby going to school with a lot of foals that could be very cruel to her because of their differences.

"Are you sure Soarin? I don't know if it's a good idea for her to go to school yet" Rainbow Dash said

"This will be good for her you will see, don't worry Dashie she will be in good hooves" Soarin said

"I know ... But still I'm still very scared, what if they don't like her? I don't want to see her coming home every day crying"

"I'm sure the Ponyville school ponies are very friendly, and their friends' children, then, seem to me to be great companions for Snowflake."

"Maybe you are right"

"I'm always right dear"

Rainbow Dash smiled and leaned closer to his chest.

"Good night Soar I love you ..."

"I love you too"

And so they both fell asleep for the rest of the night.

The next day Rainbow Dash brought Snowflake to play in the park while Soarin was at Wonderbolt Academy.

"Mommy! Mommy! Can I play?" Snowflake said

"Sure, but be careful" Rainbow Dash said

Snowflake nodded and ran for the park.

"Hello Rainbow!" Said Twilight

"Hi Twilight" Rainbow said

"Did you bring Snowflake to play in the park today?"

"Yeah, I thought it would be good for her, and I'm honestly not quite sure about her going to the same school as other foals, you know today's foals can be pretty cruel."

"Hey don't worry Rainbow, my daughter Nova Star Sparkle studies there, and from what she tells me the foals seem to me to be very kind."

"Perhaps"

Snowflake was running through the park when suddenly she didn't see that there was a tree right in front, and so she hit the tree.

"SNOWFLAKE!" Rainbow Dash said as she ran to her fallen filly.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes ... I think ... I just didn't see this tree in front of me ..."

"Well I think we better get back home"
