Later that day Snowflake was sitting on the couch crying in her mother's chest as she hugged her tightly and kissed her head.

"Shhhhhhhh it's alright Snow, mommy is here with you" Rainbow Dash said as she stroked her daughter's head.

"Mommy I don't want to go to school anymore" Snowflake said while crying

"Snow don't say that, you need to go to school" Soarin said

"But if I go again they will hit me again ..." Snowflake said

"They won't do it because I won't let it happen to you again," Rainbow Dash said as she kissed Snowflake's head.

By night everyone went to sleep, Rainbow Dash was sleeping in his bed when suddenly the door opened revealing a foal with a half frightened face.

"Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said as she opened her eyes

"I had a nightmare ... I dreamed that all the foals in the room beat me and called me a bat ..."

Rainbow Dash then flew over to her daughter and picked her up in her hooves, then flew back to bed and the two of them lay together.

"Don't worry about the nightmares they are not real"

"Are you sure? Because it seemed very real to me, and besides that it's true ... I think Sandstorm and Thunder Bolt are right, I think no one in the room likes me and they are also right when they say I look like adopted for not having much in common with you or daddy because you guys are great flyers and I am ... "Snowflake stopped and then started crying in his mother's chest. Rainbow Dash hugged her daughter and tried her best to comfort her.

"Don't mind that, they don't know what they are saying, but promise me something?"

"What?"

"Never let anyone compare you to me or your father"

"I don't know if I promise ..."

Soarin then woke up and noticed his daughter in bed.

"Snowflake? What are you doing here? Is everything alright?" Soarin asked

"Good..."

Two days passed and Snowflake had not yet returned to school. She was afraid of being harassed again, her parents were trying their best to comfort her and convince her that she shouldn't care about the teasing, but she found it difficult. Of course she was a very sensitive pony, and any unpleasant comments could really hurt.

"Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said as she and Soarin were standing in their daughter's bedroom door.

"Yes mommy?"

"Are you alright? You haven't left home or eaten for two days"

Snowflake nodded

"Snow, your mother and I are very worried about you, we don't want to see you in this state" Soarin said

"I don't like it much either but ... I'm really not feeling like anything else ..."

Rainbow Dash and Soarin looked at each other and decided to respect their daughter's wishes, but still they were very concerned about her, no way did they like to see their daughter in isolation and want nothing more from life. So they decided to do something to try to help her.

Rainbow Dash called Snowflake's friends to talk to her so they might try to convince her to go back to school.

"Snowflake?" Rainbow Dash said standing in the doorway

"Yes mom?"

"I brought some ponies that really want to see you"

She opened the door revealing Snowflake's friends: Nova Star Sparkle, Lumina, Apple Sweet, Li'l Cheese and Butterfly March.

"Hello Snowflake!" Li'l Cheese said

"I'll let you guys talk just call me downstairs," Rainbow Dash said as she walked away and left the foals talking to themselves.

"So how are you doing Snow?" Asked Nova Star Sparkle

"I'm fine I think ..." Snowflake said

"Why don't you go to school anymore?" Apple Sweet said

"Well I..."

"Snow if this is because of those two idiots you don't have to worry because I'm sure after meeting with your parents they won't do any more teasing to you" Lumina said

"I agree with Lumina, Snow go back to school, you miss there" Butterfly March said

"Well I..."

"Come on Snow! Say you're coming back!" Li'l Cheese said

"Well ... Okay alright, I'll be right back ..."

"Yay! Group hug girls!" Li'l Cheese said

Then their foals joined in for a friendly hug.

Unbeknownst to them, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were standing in the doorway watching the foals.

"It's great that our Snow has such good friends, isn't it Soarin?"

"Yes surely"
